Recommended: Impact of religion on sport

On June 13, 2016, I along with my youth group went on our annual summer camp called Super Wow. Although the youth group has gone previous years, I have not had the chance, so I was really looking forward to my first year. As soon as the week began, I knew in my heart that this week would be more than just a regular week; I could not shake the feeling that God was trying to speak to me. Soon after I prayed to God that I was listening, I heard that one of my best friends, Madison, was going to be baptized before going home. At the moment I heard that, I knew that God was telling me that this was my time to be baptized also. At the time, I had been a Christian for about 6 years, but I never had the pull in my heart to get baptized until that week.

    The Hero’s Journey is a basic template utilized by writers everywhere. Joseph Campbell, an American scholar, analyzed an abundance of myths and literature and decided that almost all of them followed a template that has around twelve steps. He would call these steps the Hero’s Journey. The steps to the Hero’s Journey are a hero is born into ordinary circumstances, call to adventure/action, refusal of call, a push to go on the journey, aid by mentor, a crossing of the threshold, the hero is tested, defeat of a villain, possible prize, hero goes home. The Hero’s Journey is more or less the same journey every time. It is a circular pattern used in stories or myths.

    My preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation has been incredible. There were times when it seemed that I had better things to do instead of going to the Youth Ministry. But after going, I never regretted it. Every time I was there, I felt at home. The thing that was in my mind most of the time was just how mortal human beings are. It was a wonderful feeling to know God loved me and that He’d allowed me to be there yet another time. I’ve learned to appreciate everything God gives us. Someti...

These mission trips helped me to go out

    When we doubt and despair, let us remember God has given us his promise in baptism. When we feel lost and lonely, let us remember we have a father who knows us before we were formed in the womb and has named us and known us in our baptism. When we stumble in our sins and stammer in our confession let us remember in our baptism we who are guilty have received grace. Nothing can take this gift of God from us. It is a one-time event once for all.

  • Personal Testimony

    During my seventh grade year, my church went to a youth rally at a local church on weekend. Because of this rally and the message it sent, I realized and wanted to give my life to Jesus through baptism. It was awesome, I got home as a young teenager and actually talked to my mom about what it really means to be a Christian and to pick up your cross and follow him. So that very next weekend, my dad baptized me in front of the whole church on Sunday morning. It was an awesome feeling knowing that because of Jesus’ grace and mercy, I will be with him one day and spend eternity with him. Although I was on top of the world at this point, I still didn’t know fully what I had gotten into. So the next few years, I live the typical Christian life. I was trying to be the perfect person by doing the right stuff, I would try not to cuss, I would try to wear as many WWJD bracelets as I could so that I wouldn’t have to talk to them about Christ and they could just see it on my wrist, I would not join in on conversations with my friends that I knew were not right, I was just living life on cruise control.

    When I was at the age of seven, I found out that my Grandmother, from my dads sisde of the family was very ill, her kidneys gave out, and she needed a transplant. I remember that day very vividly, i remember walking into the hospital room where she was placed at the time, and a sort of silence with a mixture of darkness in the room. We entered and the Doctor had told my family and I that there was no kidney transplant available for my Grandmother. It was a shock to my family and me. Everyone knew if there wasn't a transplant that she wouldn't make it. Yet my family did not loose faith, they kept on praying and praying just so that she wouldn't die. The next day my father recieved a call, and that call changed the way I felt about my religion and God.

I could not believe it but this event, and experience changed the truth.

    Before The Baptism “You will be reborn in the eyes of the Lord,” Brother Flores said. This is an example of a beautiful transformation. Not to long ago a Reserved Officer Trainer Corps also known as a high school student had decided to get baptized in a Seventh Day Adventist church.

One Saturday morning I was getting ready to go to church as I was brushing my hair I overheard my aunt say how the high school student was too young to get baptized.

Now, I firmly believe that apart from the salvation of Jesus Christ there is no other hope for me as well as for the humankind.

The second is how I look at daily struggles. Both of these areas in my life were changed to be more inline with how God views them. Both areas before the mission were in a state of complacency.

    I was afraid, but I continued to pray and asked God for directions. Fay states, “God has called each of us to share our faith, in obedience. He has called each of us to evangelize. If one of your excuses for not sharing your faith is, “I don’t have the gift of evangelism,” then you need to examine Scripture. You find the command of the Great Commission to evangelize, to encourage evangelism, and to urge evangelism.” I really enjoyed spreading the gospel because it gives me joy. I am willing to meet the needs of people when given the opportunity. I love God and I love people. I am willing to go where God wants me to
