My Story
My testimony begins in 1994. I grew up in a Christian home with 2 loving parents and we went to Church and read the Bible but I never really knew who Jesus was. In 1983, life changed when our Dad started feeling bad so my Mom and 2 of my brothers and I got in the car and went to the hospital to get him checked. He was turned away from that hospital so the nearest hospital was about 30 minutes away. He had a massive coronary heart attack on the way and died that night. That was tough on all of us. It was hard to overcome but Mom pulled us all together and we got through that tough time. Life continued until 1994. In 1994, my brothers and I went to AtlantaFest for the first time and I gave my life to Christ that weekend. That decision changed my life. Although it has been a rough ride, I never have doubted what God did by sending His Son to save us. I rest securely in that fact. In January of 2000, Mom passed away suddenly of natural causes and hit us all hard. That was unexpected. For about 6 months, I was asking God why did He take Mom away. I can honestly say that I feel that He was pleased with the job she had done with us that He felt is was time to call her home to be with Dad again. We all miss both of them still but the values that they instilled in us, have stayed with us and I will be forever grateful. I love meeting Christians everywhere so that is why I joined this community. To make new friends! God Bless you all and thanks for reading my testimony!
