Testimony

After growing up in a Christian home and being daddy and mommy’s little boy, I gained full independence at college. No longer did I need to fulfill what I saw as an obligation and duty to go to church, read my Bible, and pray. I was free to be my own god, which practically looked like getting drunk whenever the opportunity arose. It was not until the end of my freshman year at Gettysburg College, that a student named Dave challenged me to come face to face with the person of Jesus. He told me that it seemed like I was “faking” my walk with the Lord.

He was right! For the first time I came to grips that I was left with an eternal decision to make. Would I follow the Lord by repenting and receive His grace and mercy freely, or would I choose to be my own god? I realized that I was in desperate need of the one true God’s forgiveness, and shortly afterwards gave my life to Christ by the grace of God. Three years later, I was presented with opportunity of a lifetime: to share the amazing truth of the gospel with other students much like I was my freshman year by working for DiscipleMakers. Now I work for DM, and am currently raising my financial and prayer support in order to move up to PSU main, where I will be a campus staff worker.
