On Sunday, June 1, 1975, as a 10 year old little girl, I sat by myself in a pew towards the front of my home church.  My parents were newly saved through the Sunday School Bus Ministry, and recent members of Lake Lansing Baptist Church.
 
The Pastor preached a message on how I would either spend eternity in Heaven or Hell, the decision was completely up to me. He graphically detailed the wonders of Heaven, and the painful torments of Hell.  I knew that just because my parents were going to Heaven, didn't automatically mean I would.  I had to make my own decision.  The invitation came, I went forward, and asked Jesus into my heart to be my Savior.
 
After High School I attended Bible College, where I not only graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree, but the Lord blessed me with a husband who has always faithfully served Him.  In July 1988, as a newly married couple, the Lord led Kirk and I to settle in Newfoundland, where we continue to serve Him through the ministries of First Baptist Church.
 
I thank the Lord for His saving grace, unending love, protection and guidance in my life.
