Have you ever thought that there was no place to turn or that there was no one was there for you when you needed him or her to talk to? I did once in my life, but then I found Jesus Christ and decided that I could make it through life without the help of friends or a boyfriend. With Jesus in my life, it has changed for the better in so many ways.
How did I become a Christian? About two years ago, a friend of mine asked me if I would like to go to church with her. I hesitated for a few weeks and gave her some excuses, but pretty soon I ran out of things to tell her so I decided to go. I did become a "Christian" my first time there even though I was not sure what Jesus was all about, but I did continue to go. I met this guy there, and we became good friends. Together we would have conversations about Jesus. On September 9, 1999, I went to church knowing that I wanted to become a Christian and that I wanted what everyone else there had. The happiness, joy, and continuous smile they had on their face was what I was longing for. I thought that it was going to be something difficult, but my pastor said that all I had to do was say with my mouth and believe in my heart that Jesus is God and then I would be "saved". I did say

When I was in Weswanippi, I was able to preach the word of God like never before. Praise God is the only thing we could all say the rest of the night. The ministry is something else that I am involved in. It's all about him and not about me. Before I could do all these things in Heavensway, I had to take a few classes. that prayer that night, and I have been active in Heavensway ever since. We all went there to minister to them and tell them who God is and what he can do for their lives. Every night we would have church sessions and inform these young people about Jesus. Ushers are people that help the service run a lot smoother. When we first arrived there all thought we had a place to stay, but, when we got there, we had no where to sleep for the week. On the third day it was my turn to preach I have never been comfortable talking in front of people. Jeff, the pastor, said he would take care of things, so we just left it with him and prayed about it as a group once again. As a group, we prayed to see what God wanted us to do. Not even the ones I have known my entire life. I don't need to impress people anymore because when I die, God is going to look at what I did for him, not what I did for myself to make me look better.
