During high school and my involvement in Fellowship of Christian Athletes, I attended several events where I listened to people share their testimonies. I heard stories of overcoming abuse, stories of overcoming alcoholism, and stories of people on their journey to Christ. I always left the events encouraged and ready to face anything that may come my way. This started me thinking about my testimony and what I would say if I was put in front of a group of people. I got excited. The thought of people hearing my story and the possibility of passing on the same encouragement I received fired me up. I wondered if it was actually possible to pursue that career!
 
Today I found myself doing just that! I was surrounded by kids in Romania sharing songs and Bible stories that I was taught a long time ago. It didn’t stop there, after visiting one house we went to another house and I was asked to share my story. MY STORY on how I came to Christ! Or rather, how Christ brought me to HIM! Now that I’m thinking about it I’ve shared my testimony in Japan, New Orleans, Kentucky, in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and In WiCHITA, KS. (just the start of everywhere I’ve shared my story). I’ve got to share my story on how through adversity I have pressed forward, stories on what God is doing all over the world, and stories on how God has worked through my life.

 

 
By sharing our stories of what God is doing in our lives we give others the opportunity

 for freedom. The freedom that only comes when darkness is exposed! What greater gift can weshare than the gift of JESUS CHRIST and what he did for us when he sacrificed himself for us! People are dying in the chains of bondage to sin and we have the cure!! We have the keys to unlock people. Christ gave us the keys when he died on the cross!

It is my personal vendetta to share His Story with as many people as possible.


 I Love To Tell The Story
(written by A. Catherine Hankey)

I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story, because I know 'tis true;
it satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.

I love to tell the story,
'twill be my theme in glory,
to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems
than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me;
and that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.

I love to tell the story; 'tis pleasant to repeat
what seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
the message of salvation from God's own holy Word.

I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
'twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.
