My Testimony
I grew up in Guinea, West Africa the son of missionaries. I've watched God work in both mysterious and incredibly real ways all my life, but it was always regarding someone else. I believed the truth of Christ's sacrifice and of how He took the punishment meant for all, but that didn't affect the way I lived.
In 2008, I attended boarding school and it was there that one semester it seemed every portion of my life had fallen apart. Everything I turned to for comfort, support or solace was no longer there seemingly at once. There, in the stillness of loss, God reminded me that He will always be with me. He reminded me that He, the creator of the universe, had chosen to take my punishment for my sin on Himself. I gave my life to following Him in front of everything else at 17. Since then, I've been searching for ways to share what He's done in my life and of what He's done for all people to anyone who will listen.
I do not always succeed. But I strive daily to be more like Christ than I was the day before. He is the light of the world and I cannot do anything less than point to Christ and tell people that He is the Savior, the Good News, the Beginning and End
