    My life before my conversion consisted mainly of growing up in a Southern Baptist Church. Throughout my life I have heard the gospel countless times, but never accepted it as absolute truth to follow. Instead, my life until college was characterized by performing a lot of religious activity such as youth groups, church camps, and going to church on Sundays. I was in a tireless attempt to live out a religion that proved I was good enough to be declared righteous before God. It was a restless attempt to be whatever everyone else want me to be.…

I acquire these values nearly three decades ago, where I had the opportunity to volunteer in my community at the local church on Staten Island.

One of the major anxieties and financial struggles in my community were families managing a loved one with multiple-infirmities. This is when I began to see the church as much more than a place…

    At the camp we would pray and have devotion time and worship time. Then the summer before I started high school my family moved across the state and we could no longer attend the same church and I could not go to the camp throughout the school year because of the distance. Since me and my church friends grew so close together during middle school it was extremely difficult for me to only see my church friends every few months. When me I arrived at the camp during my freshman year summer a was slightly disappointed because a few of my friends that I had been wanting to see were not able to attend because they were busy with school stuff, such as band. I still had a great time while I was at the camp and enjoyed feeling closer to god.…
