Life Change is an Invitation Away
Life Change is an Invitation Away

Before I decided to trust in Christ, my life was pretty mediocre. I went from day to day not knowing what I was doing with my life. My good friend, Olivia, invited me to the Kalahari Retreat and on that Saturday, January 24, 2015, the Kalahari speaker told us that Buddha, Mohammed, and Confucius said, “Follow me, I’ll show you the way,” but Jesus said, “Follow me, I am the way.” In that moment I committed my life to the Jesus. That decision has impacted my life greatly because I now know that Jesus made me the way I am for a reason. My attendance at Grace Church has definitely encouraged my commitment to Christ with opportunities to serve and go on my first mission trip this summer. My Grace Group has impacted my spiritual growth the most and every one of them are truly amazing people. If you would’ve asked me in August 2015 where I would be in August 2016 I would’ve never guessed I would be where I am today.
