[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I first dedicated my life Christ after the death of my mother. My faith walk has been a long continual journey to understanding the love and faithfulness of Christ. For the longest I struggled with understanding the depth of God’s love and accepting his faithfulness towards me. There have been so many instances in my life in which I have seen the faithfulness of God and His love for me in spite of my trials. I have not completely arrived as there are still things that God is still fixing in me, but having a relationship with God gives me something to cling to when things don’t go as planned. I have learned of God’s faithfulness and love for me through my trials.

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

New Wine Christian Fellowship, LaPlace, LA

Word of Life Church, Shreveport, LA
