[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I became a Christian when I was 15 years old. I first went to church in high school and got to hear the gospel. I feel away from Jesus for about 6 years when I went off to college. i did not have the support system and I had a low maturity level. I wanted to always be in the cool group. I re-committed myself when I was 26 and I have now got involved in leading others.

Grace Community Church
– High School Ministry- 2014 to current

Young Life
– Capernaum- 2015 to current
