[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I had always known that there was a call on my life to walk with God but I shunned it until Dec 2008, my dad had just died and I was at a nightclub trying to drown my sorrows, and while in the middle of drinking and partying I heard the Voice of the Lord said to me, “Should I put in my appearance tonight, what would you say to me,” that was all I needed to hear, I got baptized April 2009.

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

I serve at New Testament Assembly, in Drapers District, Jamaica
