I first came to know Jesus...

I first came to know Jesus as my personal Savior at the age of five when I
attended a Kids Krusade meeting at my church. I was very shy at that time,
and I found myself unable to respond to the altar call. When I returned home
that night the missed opportunity was still weighing heavily on my heart.
Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I called out for my parents to come
to my room and pray with me. We knelt down together beside my bed and they
led me through the prayer of salvation. I will never forget how I felt that
night when I knew that I was now a child of God forever. My life has taken
many twists and turns since then, but God has always remained faithful. Even
during times of rebellion, and the consequences of poor choices, He has been
here walking beside me. I have seen firsthand what His grace and mercy can
do. Jesus is the strength of my life, and I will always be grateful for the
ministry team that brought His message of forgiveness, redemption, and hope
all those years ago.
