“I grew up in the church but at a young age I began to live two completely different lives. Anyone around me thought I was a perfect Christian but on the inside I believed I had fallen and ran too far and God could never save me. At the age of 19 I was lead to InterVarsity and for the first time found people who I felt comfortable enough to share my story to and reveal where I was really at. I attended Urbana 2015 and that was the first time I accepted Christ into my life and allowed Him to begin to transform me.”
