My Testimony
I grew up going to church with my family, but for a long time, I didn’t take it seriously. I was more focused on playing with my friends than really listening or learning about God. I had doubts, but I wasn’t really paying attention or seeking Him in my heart.
Everything started to change when I moved to my new church a few years ago. It was a combination of the people, the sermons, and the sense of community that began to spark my interest in Christianity. I started helping out at church when I could, and working on the sound desk in particular made me pay closer attention to sermons and really listen. It helped me begin to focus on God in a way I hadn’t before.
In 2024, I went to a camp called Kindle, which was a turning point for me. Simply talking to other people who were in the same place spiritually helped me see my own need for God. On the last day, just before the drive home, I felt completely overwhelmed. I cried a lot, but in that moment I knew I needed to turn to Christ. I realized I truly wanted to believe and fully commit myself to Him.
Since that moment, my faith has grown steadily. I’ve become a better person and have taken my relationship with God more seriously. I joined Bible studies and participate in the Boys’ Brigade, which has continued to guide me through other camps and experiences that strengthen my faith. One verse that has really stayed with me is Jeremiah 29:11*, it reminds me that God has a plan for my life, even when things feel uncertain.
My journey isn’t perfect, and I’m still learning and growing, but I now feel closer to God than ever. My faith gives me direction, hope, and a desire to live in a way that honors Him every day.
*Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV): For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
