Speed Testimony: My mom led me to Christ when I was 5. At 14 I recommitted my life at a youth conference in Michigan. I have continued to be challenged in my Christian walk experiencing peaks and valleys along the way. I have come to realize that all God wants from me is a personal growing relationship based on faith, obedience and service in the Kingdom.

 

Most Embarrassing Moment: The song "Watch the Lamb" begins with one note of introduction before the first words. If you miss that note it is next to impossible to find your place or catch up. While performing the song during a Maundy Thursday Service one year in front of a crowd of over 1000 people and during a very solemn moment, I had to ask the sound tech to start the music over 3 times because he did not know about the first note. Lesson - always do a sound check no matter what!
