I was baptized when I was in the 6th grade, but I feel that I became a believer when I was 15 years old at an FCA camp. Ever since then I've been passionate about my faith. I truly believe that Jesus died for my sins to give me life, not just life eternally but also abundant life right here and now.
Now when I speak of abundant life I'm not saying if I believe in Jesus I'm going to be rolling around in my Lamborghini and live in my mansion in Orange County. However, I believe that an abundant life is a life filled with joy and contentment. A life that has been redeemed and renewed. A life where the brokenness has been healed and forgiveness has been received and given.
That is why I love the prayer that Christian Aid wrote. I do believe that God is redeeming all things to Himself. That He desires to heal nations, to protect the vulnerable and to restore health and vitality back into His people. That because of His love for us we can dare to believe there is hope in this world. We can dare to believe that things can be different.
So I'm passionate about my faith and I'm passionate about living it out. I'm passionate about bringing "life" to all people through my faith in Christ, which I see the same heart and vision with Christian Aid.
