I grew up on a small family farm, attending church. Two years ago, I felt God leading me to ministry, and since then, I’ve done everything I can to learn more about Christ and to grow in my ability to teach others faithfully and correctly. E4:12 has encouraged me to keep going even if it gets hard. And it has helped by challenging me and pushing me to grow in my faith.

My favorite part is the Monday night meetings, getting to listen to the speaker and to learn more about God. Even if you know the topic, you will be challenged to think in a different way that will restart a fire in your heart for Christ.

I’m currently doing everything I can to help my church, including Kids Club, Sunday School, and anything else I can. And I am currently working on using YouTube to spread the gospel to the best of my ability.

E4:12 challenges you, but anything good for you usually does. These classes will change and grow you in ways you can only imagine, and the unity that will grow with all the other students is something that everyone should experience.
