How I came into a relationship with Jesus Christ

On March 28, 1973, I attended Sunday school in the Chicago area. The teacher gave the Gospel message and I felt not only the weight of my sin but my separation from God. It is the fruit in my life and His faithfulness to me in moments of total joy and complete heartbreak that proves my decision was real.

How I came to Harvest

In 1994-1995, a man called us every single week for a year and invited us to come to Harvest Bible Chapel meeting in Rolling Meadows High School. One day we said yes. In May of 2007, I was asked to join the Children's Ministry team and start a summer day camp ministry.
