My Conversion Testimony When I was young, I attend church with my neighbors and friends. When I became a teenager, my parents made me go to church. I loved church so I did not have a problem going, but I did not know the reason for attending church. I did not have a personal relationship with Jesus. After I became a young adult, I started partying and I did not want to go to church. I worked five days a week and party every Saturday. I continued that pattern for a long time. I would hang out with my friends late at night until one day I got sick. I was in so much pain that I had to be rush to the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital, they ran test and found out I had a kidney stone. I was treated for the kidney stone and released from …show more content…

I attend bible study on Tuesday and I attend choir rehearsal on Saturday. I am a member of the devotion team. I serve as a lay servant at church. I love serving God and he has blessed and anointed me with spiritual gifts. I love the Lord and I am willing to be obedient to the calling he has restored on my life. I love you and Jesus loves you. If you need a friend and someone to talk to I am here and Jesus will also listen to you. Jesus loves you and will help you in any situation. All you must do is repent of your sins and accept him into your life. No matter what you are going through, he will help you. I would like to invite you to get to know him by inviting you to my church and for lunch. Remember, Jesus is the way and he is our savior. Jesus loves and cares about you and I care about you too. Would you accept him as your personal savior today by repenting of your sins and asking him to come into your life. I realize this might not be the time, but if it is will you accept him. Jesus will accept you with open arms. I feel led to pray so would you like to pray with me? Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. Jesus has commanded me to love him with my whole heart and he has commanded me to love my neighbors as myself. Jesus also commanded me to go out into the world and win the people to come to Christ. Again, I love the Lord and I am willing to do his will no matter how hard it gets. I will pray and ask God for guidance

It's what I wanted to experience without breaking the church's rules. I loved it there and I will always love it there, but it was time to turn the next page and begin something new. I am very thankful for being given the opportunities I have been given there. Here in Richmond, it’s like coming up from underwater and breathing in fresh, new, and exciting air. With every new day comes a new experience and different opportunities are behind every curb.

I believe that I am qualified for this scholarship because of how much I have grown at Wendell Baptist Church. It has helped me grow in my walk with God through missions and through serving. It has helped me appreciate the little things in life like the slides during services on sunday morning. Showing me that the little things like that do not just happen and some people put a lot of work into making them happen. Wendell Baptist Church has also shown me just how great my life is and how the problems I think I have are actually not that big of a deal in the long run.

Trinity Lutheran Church. Any day, any activity. I am a participant, a student, a leader, a pioneer. Sunday mornings are spent either worshipping with my family in Centennial Hall, a large gymnasium used for our contemporary services, or with other high schoolers, learning about life values and their connection to our faith. During this time, I listen.

While I was typing this to my aunt through Facebook, it got me thinking and realizing where I actually stood when it came to my religion. I was confused, worried, and curious. All those years at church in elementary school became unimportant. Everything I learned there was gone. I felt like I entered into a new world with much curiosity.

When I arrived in Columbus I felt extremely lost. I had no clue why I went to a school so far away and a school where I hardly fit in. After a few weeks of being in Columbus, a few of my friends invited me to go to church with them. I was weary of going. I had only been to church a few times in my life and always felt so out of place.

For my practicum course I was given the chance to be an intern the YMCA, as an intern I was given a temporary position with an emphasis on on-the-job training rather than merely employment. The Young Men 's Christian Association was founded in London, England, on June 6, 1844, in response to unhealthy social conditions arising in the big cities at the end of the Industrial Revolution. Every YMCA offers fitness and exercise programs specifically geared toward older adults, such as Active Older Adult (AOA) classes, land and water-based arthritis classes, Stroke Wellness and Silver Sneakers. The Silver sneaker refers to the growing population of Baby Boomers and, in some cases, seniors over the age of 65. A growing number of health insurers offer

I have had various religious experiences in my life. I was christened at age 10 as a Lutheran. I investigated the Mormon religion while I was in high school (dating a Mormon girl). I was Saved by the Lord in a church in Dallas, Texas, and was subsequently baptized in the Baptist church, in my twenties. I now attend the United Methodist church, near my home in San Antonio.

I am a whole-hearted follower of Jesus. My own life was completely transformed when I was saved by grace alone and truly understood the free gift of salvation. I am overwhelmed by His love for me and as a result I long to bring Him glory and honor by being a vessel of His grace and mercy. The Holy Spirit is the only true transformer, everything else will eventually fail us. When we get to know Him well and trust Him wholeheartedly, we are free to live and walk by His power and with His peace.

The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is one of the most difficult but unforgettable things a student must do in his adolescence. For me, it was filled with new opportunities of taking Ap classes and joining clubs. One of these cubs was Youth and Government (Y&G). For as long as I can remember my brother, Riad, has boasted about how amazing Y&G is and how it has changed his life. My brother is three years older then me, so as a freshman he was a senior in Y&G.

While in High School, I formed part of an acting/dancing group. After we ended a theatrical tour in April 1996, I accepted an invitation from a dance group member to visit a local Christian church. I began to visit the church on Sundays and on the third Sunday I was fully convinced of God’s love for us through Jesus. It was the first time I heard the famous quoted verse from John 3:16. I believed for the first time His was crucified for my sins and that He resurrected on the third day; and accepted the altar’s call for repentance.

Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

C.S. Lewis once said, “I believe in Christ, like I believe in the sun- not because I can see it, but by it I can see everything else.” I have used this quote as a guide for myself throughout my journey to finding the Lord. Putting my faith into someone “intangible” and having faith in Christ has not been an easy task for me, given I was not raised in an extremely religious household. However, I was about fourteen when I discovered God’s word, felt my heart swell with happiness, and fell in love with Christ. That day changed my life entirely, and completely changed my outlook of the world.

Growing up Christianity had always been part of my life and there was no question about it. My family was christian and the culture that my parents grew up in was heavily religious. However, I personally never had a true connection to Christ at a young age. To me church was the place I went to answer questions in Sunday School and win prizes for it, and that was how I saw it for a long time. It was hard for me to see it has more than that and from the outside I may have looked like the kid had a true connection with Christ by the way I talked in front of the church when my class presented, or the fact that I was able to answer most if not all the questions correctly.

I only have one friend who still attends a church, a catholic church. I attended this mass with my friend Paul and his family who are Pilipino. Paul was nice enough to let come to his church to be an observer and a bit of a participant.

Essay #1: Why is biblical counseling important, and how does it fit within the ministry of the local church? As Christians, biblical counseling helps us apply both the greatest (and the second which is like it) commands as spoken by Jesus in Matthew 22:36-40. Biblical counseling is also a mechanism to which each of us can fulfill the great commission as spoken by Jesus in Matthew 28: 19-20. As such, biblical counseling not only fits within the ministry of the local church, one could argue that it is the ministry of the local church!
