Testimony:
After pursing the approval of others in many different ways (school, sports, party life, relationships), I began to notice that none of them produced the fullness of joy that I was hoping for, at least a lasting joy. After my sophomore year of college, I began asking more questions around the work of Christ. Through many conversations and studying the Word of God with an intent of seeking Christ, I began to see for the first time all of my sin and the ways that I constantly rebelled against God, despite believing I was a "good person". The grace of the gospel became more real and God allowed me to see my need for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. From that point on, I decided to surrender my life and follow Christ not only as my Savior, but also as the Lord of my life, which was His rightful place.
When I was in college I noticed both the brokenness all around me but also the opportunity all around me to invest in fellow classmates and friends. After graduation, I realized there really was no better place to strategically aim to make the Kingdom of God known.
