Frank’s Testimony

A while back, November of 2018 I was saved at Reverb in Atlanta, Georgia. Even though I never really fully understood it, I just did it without really thinking about it, but a couple of months passed and I wanted to continue my walk with God. So, I asked my mom if I could go to the Word of Life youth camp in Florida and she agreed to let me go. Then a few weeks passed and when I made it to the camp, I met a lot of amazing people. The experience really was amazing, the messages were truly wonderful. So halfway through the week after playing a ton of games and listening to the messages, we had a thing called campfire night where on Wednesdays night we go to a big bonfire for the sermon and after the sermon, we cast a stick into the fire and say, “here is my life lord it is yours now.” “Here I am lord I give you everything I own if you call me apart from my friends that is okay if you call me overseas and I never see anyone I know again, its okay, even if it costs me relationships, my friendships, my life, I will continue to follow you no matter what lord”

I prayed, I also learned what being SAVED really meant! I rededicated my life to the lord. The Lord comes first in my life, I know he will lead me where I am supposed to be. I know wherever he leads me, I will follow!
If you ever get the chance to go to a Word of Life camp, take it, it changes lives.

Special thanks to all of our youth leaders who chaperoned our youth and made an impact on their lives.
