Church begins and Adam sits on the front pew with Keiko as the preacher Brother Donovan Spann says a few words about Adam then introduced him.
Adam squeezed Keiko's hand and asked,"Wish me luck."
Adam walked up to the podium and introduced himself. "Hello brothers and sisters I'm Adam Nathaniel Newman and I want to sing you a song that I find very inspiring."

Better Days Coming
/
Lyrics
When you're standing on the edge, barely hanging by a thread
You hear your heart convince your head that you just can't no more
You just can't no more
When there's nothing left to give, and you wanna call it quits
No longer strong enough to pick yourself up off the floor
Up off the floor
Hold on, my friend
'Cause there'll be
Better days coming, don't give up
The hands that are holding tomorrow are still holding onto us
Better days coming, watch and see
We'll dance through the pain and the sorrow
Knowing there's gonna be better days
So don't you get too comfortable where you're living, ain't your home?
Soon the promise gonna come, I know it won't be long
It won't be long
Hope is tearing through the night, shadows running from the light
Love's awakening inside, just like a brand-new song
Like a brand-new song
Better days coming, don't give up
The hands that are holding tomorrow are still
holding onto us
Better days coming, watch and see
We'll dance through the pain and the sorrow
Knowing there's gonna be better days
Better days
Better days, better days
If it's not good, then it's not over yet (not over)
I promise you this is not the end
(No it's not, no it's not the end)
If it's not good, then it's not over yet (not over)
I promise you this is not the end
Better days coming, don't give up (don't give up)
The hands that are holding tomorrow are still holding onto us
Better days coming, watch and see (we believe, we believe)
We'll dance through the pain and the sorrow
Knowing there's gonna be better days
this is not the end.
Once he finished the congregation stood and gave a standing ovation.
He began his testimony including the last 2 years of captivity how he finally escaped and managed to turn his life around and start his business and that was how he met his girlfriend Keiko Forster, that she was just his employee but now she was much more and how happy she has made him. He had he stand up and wave so everyone could see her. After a few more words he said, "Thank you and God Bless."
He exited the stage and took his seat next to Keiko and took her hand and missed it. Bro. Donovan came back up and said, "Brother Adam that testimony and song is going to be a hard act to follow, but I'm going to try."
After church... They stood in the parking lot at his car as people came up and introduced themselves to Keiko and gave them both we wishes.
