My parents made God the center of our home and I can not remember a time when I did not hear the Bible read or know Jesus died for sinners like me.I accepted Christ as my personal Savior and Lord when I was six years old. Though I was young, I clearly remember the battle in my soul. My sinful nature did not want to surrender to Jesus but I remember the release and joy when I finally admitted my sin, put my trust in Jesus’ death and resurrection, and gave my life to Him.”

“God gave me godly parents who taught and lived out the Scriptures that made me wise for salvation that is through faith which is in Christ Jesus. By God’s grace I realized my sinfulness and called out to him at the age of five. Since then God has been faithfully working to complete the good work He began in me.”

God wonderfully saved me as a five year old boy in a Christian home! Even at that age, I began to understand the brevity of life after the death of a relative. I knew that I was a sinner and would be judged for my sin, and if I died like that relative had, I would be lost forever. I also understood that Jesus Christ had come to give his life as a ransom. He took my sin on himself and gave to me his goodness and righteousness. My hope and faith are forever in Christ and his loving sacrifice for me.”
