My Story (Brief 2-3 sentences):
In high school, I gave much of my time to sports, parties,
relationships. As I saw authentic men living out their faith, I began
to see how different my life was from theirs. After a few years, I
realized that those things that I gave my time and energy to continued
to fail me. I gave my life to Christ the summer before my last year of
high school.

My Story (Brief 2-3 sentences):
I
entered
into college knowing that I would be challenged in the classroom,
mentally, and on the soccer field, physically, but never thought I would
be challenged spiritually. As I investigated spiritual things, I saw
that this area of my life needed to be pursued just as the mental and
physical. I decided to give my life to Jesus at the end of my first
semester and became involved with Campus Outreach.
