[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Sing and act.

2. Spend time with family/friends.

3. Spend time outdoors on the beach, in a forest, or in the mountains enjoying God’s creation.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

Preteen girls; people that are always encouraging, happy, and smiling.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

I’m concerned when a church is seeker friendly, and focuses more on entertainment and events rather than teaching Biblical truth, even when it’s hard to hear. I’m also concerned when a church allows a person to serve in the church even though that person is not a believer, or when a person is allowed/encouraged to serve so much that they are not being spiritually fed. I get excited/passionate about good worship music. I feel there should be more opportunities for more people that have the gift of singing and/or acting.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was challenged by someone that some of what I was taught to believe in the religion I belonged to was not not Biblical, and I should seek the truth myself. In doing so, The Holy Spirit starting speaking to me, and one night I came to the realization that I was going to die, and go to hell if I didn’t make some changes. I gave my heart to the Lord in 1998, and was publicly baptized in 2004.
