extreme rescue/conversion story - and then I think ,
hmmm...the God of the universe left heaven to come
and rescue me....despite all my faults and failures.
WOW! my story is extreme. Thank you Jesus!.
"I am leading the 4th and 5th grade ministry (SIGNAL) and am excited to see what God is going to
do. It is great to look back over the last couple
years of my journey and see God's hand directing my
life - whether I knew it at the time or not. God is
always in control ,and over and over again reminds
me He loves me and wants the best for my life."
