Legacy and Ministry Adventures of Dana Bratton

Legacy writing is a way of documenting your family background, life experiences, values, and opinions to share with others. To write about what is most important to the author, while still alive rather than at the funeral.At the age of 61, I am writing this to share the personal legacy of my life. My intention is to let you know my thoughts and feelings about the life I have lived, to honor the relationships that have enriched my life, to express my gratitude for friends and family and my love for God. To know Him and to make Him known. I am very thankful for those who have prayed for and supported Cindy and me through the years. The most important thing in all of life is knowing God, having a relationship with Him. My life experience has taught me that God can always be trusted to guide and provide. God can use a sinner with not many abilities to do great things for Him and take you around the world doing it. If you surrender to Him. My special memories and cherished moments are mainly of my wife Cindy, she has been the love of my life since meeting in her in 1974, she is my lover, and my best friend. She has been faithful 42 years. She has completed me, loved me during the good times and bad, bore and raised our children, homeschooled them. She has labored beside me. gone where I have gone or worked and allowed me to go. She has cared for each of our homes, cooked the meals, done the laundry and sewing. She helped me with my broken legs, my eye surgeries, and with other health problems. She prepares my daily medicine box. She has brought her insight, wisdom and decisiveness to our relationship. She has brought great joy to my life. We have been able to serve God together.I greatly love and appreciate my parents.I love my children, and my grandchildren.I love every time even just one person come to faith in Christ after I shared the Gospel.Some of my special memories are of my marriage to Cindy, the births of each of our three children, God
