I have been coming to this church since birth. I was brought up as a Christian and went to church every Sunday with my family so I've always known about the Bible and about Jesus and I’ve always believed in it.
I did not want to make commitment, although I wanted to be saved; two things I cannot have at once and I knew that. Before I made a commitment, the book of Revelation was my favorite book in the Bible - I was always interested in it and what it meant. I was scared to die because I knew I would go to hell as was described in this book of Revelation.
At the beginning of this year we had four sessions in the youth meetings on Sundays about making a commitment to God, each by four different people. I felt like this was trying to tell me something, but still I ignored it and put it at the back of my mind. This was until a friend leant me this DVD called 'The Gates of Heaven and The Flames of Hell'. It was American and the actors were really enthusiastic but it really had an effect on me. At the end of it the American Presenter said "I look forward to seeing you in heaven" and I thought how amazing it would be to meet him and these people I have never met one day, and especially amazing to meet Jesus. The week after watching the DVD, I made a commitment to God in May 2010, and am now getting baptized.
Thank-you to my Mum for giving me the greatest gift a mother can give to her child and that is knowing God and for bringing me to church every Sunday, (even when i didn't want to go); Thank-you to Jack who I have known all my life, is a great pastor and has also influenced my decision; Thank-you to Zoe and Andrew for helping at the Kids Club, helping me to learn more about the bible when I was younger; Thank-you to Andrea for lending me the DVD and all your support these last few months; Thank-you to all who have prayed for me and Thank-you to God who gave his only Son so that me and many others like me who choose to believe and commit their lives can live eternally with him. Amen
