I come from a family of churchgoers. I can't remember a time where we didn't go to church at least semi-regularly. I allowed Christ to save me from my sins at the age of four. After some prompting by a Sunday School teacher I went home and asked my mother about it. She explained the gospel to me in full and I accepting Christ's gift through her leading. I later reaffirmed my salvation when I was twelve and rededicated my life to follow the Lord's will.
Throughout junior high and high school I helped out in many capacities at my church. The latter few years of high school I became heavily involved in my youth group as a leader. It was around this time that I began to notice that not every kid grew up as blessed as me, with a family that cared so much. Realizing the passions and talents that God had given me I dedicated the rest of my life to doing whatever God would allow me to provide a positive influence in the life of teenagers that had none.
