Our Testimonies Ben
I accepted the Lord as my personal savior when I was 4 years old. He has been directing and drawing me closer ever since. When I was 15, God called me to missionary aviation. He confirmed that call a year later through my parents. Since that time, He has been bringing me to the understanding that I need to serve Him wherever he leads and in whatever He directs me to do.
Cathrine
I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior when I was 5 years old. He graciously forgave my sins and has been guiding and directing in my life ever since. When I was still in elementary school, God gave me a strong desire to serve Him on the mission field. That desire has remained. I now share the same desire with my husband. Most of all, my desire is to serve God wherever He directs me. |
