Thank You for Sharing Your Story

I'd like you to tell the story of how you came to know Jesus in three parts.

My Life Before Christ

The first part of your story is about your life before you knew Jesus. This can help others who are struggling to believe they are "good enough" when none of us are ever good enough on our own. If you don't want to write your story, feel free to send me an audio file. To do that:

1. Tell your story using an audio program like Audacity (free!).

2. Upload the audio file to your Google Drive and set the file so you can send me the link to listen. Here are instructions on uploading a file and setting permissions. See Step One and Step Two (anyone with a link):   https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2494822?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform=Android#zippy=%2Canyone-with-a-link-to-the-file 

3. In "My Life Before Christ" box below, share the link to the file.

You can choose to record each part of the story separately and add three links in the boxes below - or record all three parts in one file and share that link.

My Testimony

Now, please tell the story of how you first came to know Jesus and gave your life to Him.

This is YOUR testimony. It is unique and different from any other. I'd like you to tell the story as if you were telling it to your best friend. 

As you write it, please include the answers to these questions:

1. How old were you when you first asked Jesus to be your Lord and Savior?

2. Who was it (no names for privacy please!) who introduced you to Jesus? It may have been a friend, pastor, stranger, family member.

3. What was going on in your life that may have been a reason you were searching?

4. Tell the story of how you gave your life to Christ and if anything happened immediately afterward. 

Please write or tell as much as you can to complete your story. Feel free to also record this part of your story.
