Several churches helped me in more ways than they know to get back to college. The semester was a time when God gave me certain friends to challenge my faith, and come back to the Bible and that was the biggest blessing of all. Such Christ-like friends pointed me back to the Savior.
Midway through the semester doubts of my Salvation had begun to spring up in my heart. I had made a few professions of faith in Jesus as a young boy and was baptized at the age of 7, but deep down in my heart I didn't have peace about my eternal Home. I knew everything about Jesus, the Bible, and often shared the Gospel with those on my bus route and people that I met in town, but without peace in my heart I could never be what Jesus wanted me to be.
On Saturday morning of the 4th I was reading through the book of Matthew and my eyes ran across the verse Matt. 16:26 "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" This verse spoke to my heart. I was not going to die and go to Hell because my friends and family believed that I was saved. I had to know that I know that I'm going to Heaven. Around 5:30 in the morning I went outside my dorm to the cold front porch steps and bowed and asked Jesus to save me. My life will never be the same and my goal is to know God and to glorify Him in all I do. He knows the path that I trod. I'm so happy to have peace in my heart and the whole world needs to hear what Jesus did for them on Calvary.
God has land on my heart the city of Frankfurt am Main, Germany and would love for you to keep me in your prayers. Continue to pray for my school bill for Crown College; I'm home now looking for work and to help my parents in the church plant in Columbus, Indiana. We want to win Columbus for Christ! I'm so hopeful what the Lord has for me in the future!
