I was born into a Christian family, and I received Christ at the early age of eight or nine. Although it was many years ago, I can still remember the day that I first opened my heart to the Lord Jesus. How wonderfully He cleansed me of my sins and filled me with joy and peace within!

By the time I was twenty years of age, I had heard hundreds of gospel messages, had prayed several prayers related to receiving Christ as my personal Savior and had dedicated and rededicated my life to God to live a life closer to Him.
