I couldn't help but fall in love with God
When I was a teenager I had know idea that who God is should affect my life. I grew up in a family that went to church on Sunday but we didn’t practice much outside of church.
Like a lot of young people I was grasping at things to fill these desires to find this purpose and to fit in. So I started doing things like going to parties, drinking, and cursing, and having sex. With the world’s mindset I thought that was it.
When I went through Lifeteen at St Dominic I experienced otherwise. At a weekend conference I felt the Holy Spirit burning in my soul for the first time and thought “This is so much better!”
I couldn’t help but fall in love with God. And once I was in love with Him I couldn’t help but act on that love. My response to this love what to become a missionary.
Your story matters
The story of our relationship with Jesus Christ is the best tool we have to spread the Good News. It is personal, it is real, and it is the thing we know the most about our own experience with God.
