My Testimony
When I was 12 my church closed down due to covid, I was not a believer at that time.
I was really depressed, and angry at everyone.
A few months after covid hit My aunt and uncle invited me to their church's youth summer camp down in Menifee. I was amazed at how kind and respectful the boys were and how much they loved the Lord. The sermon was just as amazing. The youth pastor spoke with certainty that what he was saying was true, he spoke with passion because he knew God's unfailing love in his life, and with a powerfulness showing that he was ready to stand up against any opposition from the enemy.
Later on, I gave my life to the Lord at the church's winter camp and my life changed dramatically. I was no longer depressed or angry, I had good friends who were constantly praying for me, l found my spiritual mentors there, and most importantly, I had the Lord in my life.
Since then I have been growing in my walk with the Lord. Making new friends who love the Lord.
And trying to tell others of his love whenever I get a chance.
