A Defining Moment
"In the summer between my sophomore and junior years in high school, I was confronted with the death of a friend and the death my grandfather—within days of each other. One of the funerals spoke of the hope of eternal life through faith in Jesus, a message I had heard at Good Shepherd Community Church and Eagle Fern Camp for years. Within these same few days, my karate teacher had invited me to a youth group where he was speaking. Although I did not respond to the altar call where the same hope of eternal life through faith in Jesus was spoken of, I did respond in the quietness of my own home, by myself, just a few days later in a simple prayer of trust and submission to Jesus. From that day to now, the goal has been the same, to follow Jesus in trust and submission, wherever he may lead."
