I was born in June of 1996.  I was the firstborn of my family.  I was raised in a Godly Christian home.  My family went to church every time the doors were open.  I loved Sunday school, learning about God and learning new Bible songs.  I had Godly influences all around me.  Some of those influences were my parents (the greatest influences ever).  Dr. Jim Brown was the pastor of our church in Carthage, Missouri.  His preaching had a great influence on my life.  The Philips family were a great influence on my parents in TV standards. ( This later became an influence on me.)  Paul Philips was a few years older than me, but was a great playmate.  He taught me the importance of not just playing with the big kids, but with the smaller kids as well.  There were many others.  In March of 1999, at the age of 3, I realized the need for a Saviour.  I remember that I couldn't go to sleep ,one night, in my bed.  I asked my Dad to come talk with me about Christ.  As my Dad gave me the plan of salvation, I remember my Mom's shadow on the wall.  My Mom stood there next to the door listening the whole time.  That night I accepted Christ as my Saviour.  My life was never the same!  Some time later, I wanted to be baptized.  On a Sunday night, I was baptized by Bro. Block.   In 2006, my family surrenderd to the mission field of St. Barths.  In 2006, God called me to preach.  (Dr. Steve Jarret prayed with me and helped me make that decion.)  As my family went from church to church, my Mom taught me and my sisters to sing harmony.  We sang almost every where we went. In 2009, we moved to Quebec City, Canada, to study French. I soon realized that learning a new language was a very, very difficult thing. In September of 2010 we moved back down to Ft. Myers Florida to gain more support, before we leave for the field. Thank God, I have a family, that gave me a good heritage, that I could base my testimony on.
