[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Becoming a christian for me was pretty simple and easy for me because I grew up in a bible believing church. As such, I knew about God from a was a child. However, at the age of 13, after being active in the junior and youth choir since I was 6, I felt a calling on my life by the Lord and I went forward in the alter call. I met with my pastor’s wife and she walked me through the steps to become saved.
