CCS students and parents in Alhambra |
I would have loved to join this group as they toured Spain; just by looking at the pictures I am inspired. Some of our students called this a life-changing trip, an experience of a lifetime. While I have not been to Spain, I can understand the excitement and enthusiasm of our students. I too had a life-changing experience, a one-of-a- kind miraculous event that changed me forever. I experienced a life-changing event when I was introduced to the person of Jesus Christ. Like these students, my life was changed; I was not the same person I was before my encounter with Jesus. Just as Romans 12:2 states, my mind was transformed and I was no longer conformed to the bondage of my sin. I began living for God once Jesus entered my heart; I have been growing closer and closer to Him ever since.
God used a Christian school to bring me to a saving knowledge of who He is. I had the head knowledge of who God was, but I did not have a relationship with Him. Through the Truth of the Scriptures and the faithfulness of my baseball coach/Bible teacher, I accepted Jesus as my Savior as a sophomore in high school. Conestoga Christian is just like the Christian school I attended when I was in high school - everything is centered and focused on God. Every program, every project, every strategy keeps God at the center. I hope someday you might find your way to Spain, Italy, Jerusalem, or some destination that would be awe-inspiring, but more importantly, I pray you find Jesus and make Him the Lord of your life. Once you accept Jesus as your Savior, you will never be the same.
