I was brought up in a Christian home and so from an early
age I knew that I needed to be saved. One year at camp during
a meeting I just asked God to save me and trusted Him to do
this. Toward the end of my GCSE's I remember being unsure
as to which path to take, either to continue at school or
go to tech. I prayed to God and said, "that if I got
enough points to get back to school that I would take that
as confirmation."
I got enough points to get back to school however, because
some of my friends where going to tech I decided that I would
go my own way and join them.I became careless in my quiet
times and did not enjoy the prayer meeting or church as much
as I once had. It wasn't too long before I was joining my
friends at the weekends. After a few months of tech I decided
to leave and get a job.
In the Summer of 2002 I went along to a Summer camp where
God really spoke to me. I asked God for forgiveness and restoration
and I believe He answered my prayer.God really helped me and
gave me new friends and new desires. About a year after this
God opened the door for me to return to education and study
computers, firstly at tech and now at university. I am very
thankful for this and I know that He has helped and will continue
to do so.
God gave me opportunities to serve Him helping out with the
youth work and also with computer work around the church.
I had the privilege of going to Brazil in 2004 and Romania
in 2006 in practical missionary work teams which were a great
experience.
It
is very reassuring to know that God's, "grace is sufficient
for me, for His strength is made perfect in weakness."
2 Corinthians 12 v 9.
