CHAMPAIGN -- A pastor says he had a once in a lifetime experience Monday. Lekevie Johnson went to the Presidential Inauguration. He's a pastor at Jericho Missionary Baptist Church.

Rodney Davis sent him tickets, as a thank you for the work Johnson does in the community. Johnson sat just a few feet away from the president and still can't believe he got to witness history.

"The togetherness, the unity and the positive energy that was there, it's an experience that you'll never forget," Johnson said.

That togetherness is what Johnson says he wants to spread throughout his church and community.
