At the age of 8 years old, Russell Ricks said an innocent child-like prayer.  He asked God to take him, and to spare him from the thralls of unjust and abusive treatment he was receiving from a First grade teacher and my peers at his school.  And when the answer came, it was a beautiful Near Death-like Experience.  An experience that would change his life forever.  He still vividly remembers the details and continues to gain new insight and meaning from it, all these years later.  He experienced love beyond anything he could imagine, and saw sights and colours that don't exist here on earth.  Join us to hear Russells first hand account of this incredible experience.
