My mom raised me and my siblings in the church. I remember as a kid she gave me the verse Jeremiah 29:11. But as a teenager, I fell away from the church and my relationship with the Lord. I became a classic prodigal son. But praise be to God because He brought me back to Himself through the ministry of U-Turn For Christ. He gave me back a future and a hope. U-Turn For Christ’s message has always been one of restoration and that’s what it did for me – it restored my relationship with my family and the Lord Jesus.God has been so faithful and blessed me. I feel like I am living proof of Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”. I am starting an exciting new chapter in my life as I leave the full-time ministry of U-Turn For Christ and move to Pahrump, NV where I will marry the helpmate God has picked for me. I’m excited to see where God will plant me and use me in my new home.
I am forever grateful to the ministry of U-Turn For Christ and Pastor Gerry Brown for all that they have done in my life and the role they played in bringing me back to Jesus.
In His service
