Testimony: When I was 7 a neighbor took me to Vacation Bible School. He then took me almost every week until he passed away when I was 12. I told a friend how upset I was, because I could no longer go to Church. Her family then picked me up for Church for many years because I did not have a Christian home. God in his Amazing Grace came and got me, and he has not left my side.
