Jeff’s Personal Testimony

At the age 20 I was a dysfunctional young adult searching for a reason to live. My Uncle Jim encouraged me to read the Bible. First, I realized through scripture that Jesus didn’t just know about God, He knew the Father personally. Second, when he said: “Get the beam out of your own eye” he was talking to me. Finally when Jesus said: “You are either for me or you are against me.” I realized I had been against him. My sinner’s prayer was very simple: “Jesus, I want to change sides.” I wish that everybody would experience the life changing relationship offered by Jesus!

Hannah’s Personal Testimony

I was saved at the age of 21. In my late teen years I began searching for the truth. I explored different eastern religions, but each left me dissatisfied. During the time of my deepest depression I found a Bible and read the scripture "I am the way, the truth, and the life no one comes to the Father but through me." I believed that instantly and accepted Christ as my Savior.
