Share your story or testimony about why or how you became a Christian:

I initially accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior when I was 11. I soon backslid and began looking for something to fill the emptiness in my heart. At church camp when I was 15 I had a connection to God in which He called me to the ministry. I eventually got into a mindset that was not healthy and in fact very hurtful. I was living in hate. I began going to a church that taught Christian Identity Movement, which is a white supremacist teaching when I was 16. From the time I was 16 I was 24 I was living a life of sin and racism. I got involved with the KKK and became a recruiter for a sub-group called the New Order Knights. On April 15 2001 I came home from the bar drunk, and my Bible was open on my bed to Ephesians 5 and there was a verse that said "Do not be drunk with wine, where in is excess, but be ye filled with the Holy Spirit". To make a shortened long story even shorter, I gave my life completely to Jesus Christ and I will never turn back. I have gone to Bible college and I will receive my Ministers License on Oct. 25 2008 with the Assemblies of God. Now I am excited to see what will happen next!
