Testimony: I guess my testimony starts in the summer of ’98. That was really when I first met Christ. My family never really went to church, so I hadn’t had the chance. That year, I changed to a new school and was encouraged by my friends to come to church with them. Well, I started going to Byron UMC, and I heard a lot of things about God and heaven that I had been wondering about for a while; I just never had the courage to ask. As I learned more about Jesus, a hunger grew inside of me to learn more. I didn’t do anything about it though. At the time, I was in a relationship with a girl that took up a lot of my time. I cared about this girl more than anything. She was my world and in a way, my god. It took me over a year and a half to realize what I had done. It happened at Atlanta Fest ’99. God opened my eyes, and I realized that I needed to end the relationship. I wanted to focus entirely on God. When I got back home, I talked to her, and we separated. My desire to focus on the Lord has since grown and I have completely devoted my life to Him. He has blessed me with so much, and I can not express how grateful I am. I only hope that he may work through myself and this band to reach out to others in need of Him. <><
