Gingrich Shares Testimony at Cumming Church

Dr. Lee and a congregation of more than 3,000 worshippers at First Redeemer welcomed former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to the morning worship service Sunday.

Win-or-go-home time is fast approaching for the former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich.

Herman Cain, the Atlanta-based Republican who ended his presidential bid in December, will appear with Newt Gingrich at his campaign appearance Saturday in Cumming.
