Testimony:
I got saved at camp in 8th grade. That’s when God made sense to me, being outside and being ridiculously silly! His Spirit has created a new heart in me. From selfish and grumpy, to joyful and servant. I told God that wherever He is, that’s where I want to me. So I served at church and camp every opportunity I could. Eventually leading to ministry school. Working for a church in Ann Arbor. Following the calling summer camp ministry calling God gave Tim and I. God has never left us, he always leads and provides because that’s who He is!
