This is the life of Isreal Houlton a famous praise and worship leader I sat and listen to his life story at a concert .the story goes like this.when his mother conceived him at an the age of 16 his granmother told her to get rid of the baby or get out. well thats when she walked out of darkness.she walked the streets of california where she ran into a women who was like an angel.told her all will be alright thak god she know her son would do great things Isreal came to my home church Greater Shiolh Church easton pa where I got to present him with the picture but by the grace of God
