Personal Statement
I came to faith in Jesus Christatthe very young age of four prayingby my bedside with my parents. Even
though I did not remember this event or my firstbaptism,I consider that the beginningof my faith
journey. At the age of 10 I made sure of my salvation and I felta callingto go into the ministry then. I
went through a rebellious timein my collegeyears where I doubted my faith,but by God’s graceI was
drawn back to Him and I have not got over the complete change in my life.It is totally by God’s grace
through faith I have been ableto achieveany of the above. Most resently I have grown in my
commitment to and understandingof a personal,daily relationship with Jesus.I have found that Jesus has
gone before all of us everywhere, that He is waitingfor us each day and He will bethere after we leave.
In that understand I have found that Jesus is buildingHis church everywhere today and He is waitingfor
us to join in with Him in that work.
