Personal Testimony: God blessed me with a family that believes in the gospel and actively grows as believers. Growing up I attended Awana and VBS, and I'm pretty sure I accepted Jesus into my heart about 5 times. I didn't take God or my salvation seriously all I knew was that I didn't want to go to hell. When I was about 15, on a Fusion mission trip, I rededicated my life to Christ. Because Jesus is in my life, I have new hope and purpose in life. That purpose is that I can live to glorify and serve him. In recent events, God has called me to serve in the youth group as a middle school leader and in Awana as a trek leader. I also lead worship for the main service. As a leader, I help in worship for both trek and youth group. God has deepened my desire to serve and glorify him.
