[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Neighbours took me to Sunday School when I was in Primary School. When I shifted to the city as a !0 year old I wanted to find a church nearby. Here the church people nurtured me and I decided to give my life to the Lord. My parents were believers but did not attend church much . However they were happy for me and my sister to attend church.

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

Helped at Playgroup and made parents and grandparents feel comfortable and accepted – Kalamunda Church of Christ

Involved with lunch for seniors in the community as a helping eg serving up meals- Kalamunda Church of Christ

Helped with preparing Christmas hampers or needy people in the community- Kalamunda Church of Christ
