How I became a Christian: From a very small child, I went to church every Sunday and realized at the age of 8 that the Lord had a special pupose for my life.  At Pocono Plateau, age 17, I discovered that I could have a relationship with Jesus Christ, and he became real to me.

The most important thing I do around here: To encourage people to know that God loves them and they will never be alone.
