Testimony: On Easter Sunday when I was 5 years of age, I asked Jesus “into my heart.” Our family was part of a wonderful church & school that discipled well, and I matured in my faith through the ministry of the church and its people. I am so thankful for those who poured into my life, challenging me to live out my faith daily. Through each season of my life, God has been faithful to teach & challenge me through His Word and His people.
