When and how did you come to know Christ?
I was at camp at Mt. Lebanon with my church when I was nine. I had sensed that God was working in my heart that week. It was a Wednesday afternoon and we were in a small group study with our children’s leader. As he shared the truth of God’s love and plan for my salvation, I realized I needed Christ and He was the only way to heaven. So, that afternoon I gave my life to Christ and He changed me for all eternity!
