favorite bible verse: i love Isaiah 43:2-"when you pass through the waters, i will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." and the whole chapter of Psalms 139

God rescued me when i was in first grade. My teacher had just
finished a story about a child that went through some hard time and he got saved. She asked if any one wanted to be save and I raised my hand and through Christ God pulled me out of the fire. My life hasnt been
the same since. though i have struggled through things like bitterness, hurt and being negative, and so many more little things; i can rely on God and his unconditional love and faithfullness, and so much more. so thats it. thats my testimony as of right now though my salvation will never change my life in christ is a journey and will hopefully grow
closer to him everyday.

Favorite bible verse: john 3:16. its the first one i learned and most important to me.

My parents got divorced when I was really young..When I was 6 my dad got remarried, my new mom refused to be apart of the catholic church, and so when I was about 7 or 8 we all went to Grace, where I got saved at a sermon preached by Rick Amato. At 7 or 8 it is really easy to live your life as a christian... but once I started getting older it started getting harder. my biological mother died when I was 11. I hid my feelings on that, and always acted happy... no-one knew that it really bothered me. Throughout the years it has gotten a lot easier to talk about my biological mother, and having that situation happen makes me realize how greatful I am that my parents did get a divorce and that he did meet my mother, Ann. Recently at the Passion Conference Loui Giglio spoke on being chosen and not being a mistake, those words right there answered so many questions I have had through out the years, and even though I have been saved it made me see that God really does have an amazing plan for me.

favorite bible verse: 2 corinthians: 12:9-10

I've grown up in a Christian home all my life and I was saved at a very early age. My senior year of high school I got pretty angry at God and decided I could live my life without him. I spent that year searching for other ways to find happiness and contentment, but I found everything else to be empty and meaningless. I Praise God that He has brought me back to Him, He has changed my life in such a positive way. I so excited to spend the rest of my life serving and paising my Savior!

favorite bible verse: “the joy of the lord is my strength” nehemiah 8:10

I grew up in a christian home.... so I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior when I was very young. I never really started to grow though until I was about 14. Christ caught hold of my heart and I've been walking with Him everyday since then. The times haven't always been easy but I can say that Jesus has been there lovingly guiding me all the way! He is everything we need! And I learn it over and over that only God Satisfies and nothing else does!

favorite bible verse: “here am i, send me”

I didn’t grow up in a christian home. A friend invited me to youth group in jr. high and i went to hang out with friends. my friends stopped going, so I did too. I started to realize i was missing something that church was fulfilling. So i went back and started to get deeper into the word. soon after i accepted jesus christ as my personal savior. since then i’ve been involved in many ministries to try to spread the gospel.
