ok so i find great strength in the strength of others and i feel some other people will agree. So id like people to share a story of their faith that brought them closer to god, when they got their call etc.

I got closer to god during church camp i went with my Grandma who was working there and it really got to a lot of people. By the end of the week I was ready to be baptized. Everyone shared their stories and I think there was plenty of crying and "man" hugs from everyone!

A time where i put my faith in god was when i went to camp and i went seeking new christian friends because here at home i dont have many good christian friends most are non believers. I got there with an attitude of im not going to meet any good friends. so then i went and my moms friend got me to hang with some kids called C.I.T counclers in training and they helped me put more trust in god and i was very happy. so right now i have many good christian friends that i try and keep in touch with them.

Seeker, what a wonderful topic! For me, every day is a new adventure living the life for Christ. Every day, every moment, is a chance to get closer with God. One in particular is something that I'm going through right now; my parents split. God has taught me patience and that He will always be here with us, no matter what. He also taught me to never loose hope. This trial has been a very hard one, but God has always stuck close to us and I know this has brought me closer to Him. Again, every day is a chance to get closer to our Lord.

Thank you all for sharing!

God bless

Well, if got one story to tell.

I've been going to a youth group for a while and they talked about being saved and everything but i really never thoght about it. So in July we were going to a church camp and i was excited to go. It was the first night and the girls and our girl youth leader were talking about being saved. As i was sitting on the top bunk of the bed and they were talking i felt like someone was sitting behind me, trying to push me off the bed and telling me i had to ask how to be saved, and the second i asked it was the best feeling i'd ever had. So i was saved at 2:00 in the morning.
That whole week was the best and every kid in my youth group would tell u i cried my eyes out the entire week and so did they. We learned so much and got so close to God, we let all of our feelings go and worshiped with all our hearts.

Well, for me it took me awhile. i went to church with my mom and stuff when i was little, u know. but as i got older i started hanging out with the not so good crowd. to make a long story short, i started smoking and getting into pot and stuff. and i thought i was all that. my mom lost her job, she finally found a new 1, but it was like 3 hours south. so we moved. i was so mad at my mom i hated her for that, and i would just scream and yell at her. but i started hanging out with the not so good crowd down here. I cant realy remember why but one day i saw my bible i had from when i was little. i started reading it. i did this for a few days off and on. But one day i got home from school, and went into my room and started reading it. all of a sudden i just relized what a dumb immature person i was. from there i just started praying to god to forgive me and and just help me. i rember saying to god please please forgive me please god, over and and over again and again. i just burst into tears, crying. i was so happy though it was the best feeling in the world. i just felt like a weight was taken off my chest. That happened about 2 years ago, i am 14 now. anyways from there i just gave it all to god and have been a happy growing christian ever since and will keep growing until i die & come to god.

Zach, you are a testimony. For young people like us, you inspire me. For what it's worth, I used to be an Atheist. Now, I would take a bullet for the God I can't see in a heartbeat. Literally.

When i was 13 i attended a youth camp with my local church. It was one of the greatest things I've ever experienced in my life. I asked Jesus into my heart and got saved right then and there. And things were great for a few months, but i slowly began to fall and started ignoring god. Hanging out with the wrong people and doing the wrong things. This went on for a few years. One day i met this girl and started talking to her. Eventually i grew to like her and after i few months i started to love her. She wasn't a christian so this was definitely not a good thing. But one day she said she didn't think we were right for each other and she broke my heart. At the time i was so upset and i couldn't imagine why she would do that to me. I was very depressed for a while, so i stopped talking to my family/friends and tried to bottle up all my sadness and keep it to myself. I felt like i couldn't talk to anyone. And one day i remembered something that someone special had told me a long time ago. "Remember, God is always listening." So i started to pray and pray and pray. And god came to my rescue. Suddenly it was like a whole new world had opened up. I could finally see clearly. I realized what i had been doing wrong and now that i think about it, i cant believe i actually did it. I was headed down a dark road. Now that i can see clearly i realize that it wasn't the girl breaking up with me. It was God saving me from a life that was completely disastrous! And ever since then Ive never felt the same. My whole way of thinking has completely changed.Through this experience god showed me what he wants me to do with my life. I'm finally living a Purpose Driven Life and i couldn't be happier. God saved me from the darkness and i will never return!

Thank you for reading my story, God Bless You!
