I first heard God’s story from people around me. His Story become even more clear when I understood that He left the 99 to rescue me! I realized I needed rescuing because I couldn’t do life without Him giving me His strength, peace, joy. I responded to God’s story by giving my life to Him and glorifying Him in everything I do.

I always believed in God as I grew up in a Christian household, but my faith was not my own. I just copied everyone around me. Towards the end of high school, I struggled mentally and questioned my faith. It wasn’t until I joined OneLife Institute that I learned what true community looked like. It was there when I made my faith my own as I discovered new things about myself and my relationship with God. I got saved the summer after and I can confidently say Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Even though I still struggle and make mistakes, I now know who I can run to when things get hard. Thank you, Jesus, for the blood!
