[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I received Jesus as my personal Savior. Without His Holy Spirit living in me and I in Him, I would not have a prayerful relationship to communicate and follow God’s word.

Member, Community Church of Vista, California, 1964 approximately

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:
