 I grew up outside of Washington, D.C., and enjoyed many privileges that a good family and many friends can bring. But undoubtedly, the greatest gift I received was an early understanding of the importance of being connected with Jesus. Since I was ten-years-old I have had this bed-rock conviction that life centers around the forgiveness and love of a compassionate God. This understanding helped stabilize my teenage years during the turbulence of 1960's and 70's.
I attended college at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, but the core of my life revolved around sharing my faith with hundreds of teens in varieties of settings, large groups, small groups at retreats and in back yards--teens in search of answers but finding few solutions. It was during this period that I became convinced I needed further training for I was destined to go into full-time service for Christ. |
