Testimony 

Being the son of a pastor I had heard more sermons by the age of ten than most people hear in their life.  However, on a Sunday night in September 1989 my father brought a sermon on the final destination of sinners and it scared me greatly. I remember being afraid to talk directly to my father about this so instead I asked my sister Bethany, who happens to be three years older than me, what I had to do to be saved.  Through a long conversation of her running back and forth to my parents room to answer my questions I accepted the gift of salvation and changed my final destination.  
At 16yr old while sitting in a missions conference the guest speaker spoke the words "If anyone feels like God is leading you into fulltime ministry, now is the time to answer his call".  It was at that very moment that I surrendered my life to whatever God had planned for me and as they say "the rest is history"...
