[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My two younger sisters and I were taken out of our home in Gem, AB by my Aunt & Uncle to their home in Abbotsford, BC. While living there I was sent to a Christian High School, during one of their chapel services I asked Jesus into my life and in the next year was baptized.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Clearbrook MB Church in Clearbrook, BC I taught Sunday School and sang in their choir.

48th & Kerr MB Church, Vancouver,BC I was involved in College and Career Groups and sang in the church choir.

Brooks Baptist Church, Brooks, AB I taught Sunday School

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Being part of the Billy Graham Crusade in Vancouver, seeing all those people going forward to ask Jesus into their lives.

Going to a Christian High School and seeing my friends live for the Lord.

Being a part of building a church building and seeing people come there and grow in their spiritual lives.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Having to leave a church because of the pastor not living for the Lord.

Being in a church where my family was looked down on.
