[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in church. In my late teens I decided to take charge of my own life partaking of what the world has to offer; and in my late 30’s I came running back to Jesus.

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

I have served in: hospitality, Sunday School teacher (preschoolers and elementary school), missionaries work, and vestry member

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Listening to my mother’s fervent prayers.

Witnessing God’s power with my own eyes as He healed me.

Watching my first son having a desire for Christ when he was only 5 years old and asking me to take him to church.

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:

Being an unwed mother.

Being an immigrant.

Being oppressed and judged by others.
