Testimony-Cindy

I was saved when I was about five years old. I don’t remember much about it except that I realized that Jesus paid the penalty for my sins and put my trust in Him as my Savior. I grew up in a Christian home, went to Sunday School and Church regularly, I knew all the “Sunday School answers”, but my life did not always reflect the fact that I was a child of God. The summer after my freshman year of High School I attended camp (as I usually did in the summer) and it was there that I was convicted that if I was going to say I was a Christian, I should act like it. So when I was 15 I acknowledged that not only was Jesus my Savior, but that He needed to be Lord too. At that point I made a significant change in my attitude, in the way I talked, and in my actions.

The next several summers I had the opportunity to go on four summer missions trips with The Continentals (a traveling music group). During that time I experienced significant growth in learning to share my faith, how to look to God’s Word for His will for my life, how to pray, and increase my faith and trust in God and His Word. God continues to use challenges and difficulties in my life to continue to conform me into being who He wants me to be.

Now God is leading me to become an Awana Missionary. In all these changes, God continues to teach me to trust Him more, to communicate with Him more, and to be quiet and listen to what He has to say. I am also becoming more aware of God working in different areas, both in my life and in those around me.
