What is your salvation testimony? I grew up in the Pentecostal church in St. John’s. I was saved at the age of 7. During my teen years my relationship with the Lord grew stale. After being told that a relationship with God was a farce by people of influence in my life, I realized I needed to find out for myself if God was truly real. I decided at the age of 16 to really sell out to God and give Him Lordship over my life. God showed himself to be a real and life-giving relational person who had a real plan for my life. I told Him that I would go wherever He would lead. It’s been a joyride ever since!! |
