I was 14 when I accepted Jesus as my Savior during Miller Lake Bible Camp. My family did not go to church, but in Grade 6, I followed my school friend to a presbyterian church and became a regular. After 3 years of active involvement at that church, I heard the gospel clearly presented for the first time at the Miller Lake Bible Camp. First year, I went for fun and became interested in the messages and in second year, I started wanting to be real with God. Although I was invested in "church," I did not have the confidence to say that I will go to heaven or that if someone challenged my belief with smart arguments my faith will stay unwavered. Youth group and praise band were extracurricular activities that I enjoyed but not fruits of faith. Realizing this took months. At camp, I asked many questions, trying to make sense of salvation, and finally on the last day of the camp, all pieces fell in place at Ephesians 2:8; "For by grace, you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing but the gift of God." Simply saved by grace, not by works! The following year, I decided to get baptized to announce my spiritual birth. For that, I am eternally grateful that I can enjoy a close relationship with the Person who truly cares and understands.
