New Believer #4

This new believer is a recent addition to the faith thanks first of all to God, obviously, and second to God working through Jordan Britton. His name is Keith Jackson, and he's going to be a seriously strong man. I sent him this interview via e-mail, and I thought the best way to give you what he thought would be to simply copy and paste, so that's what I did. I, personally, feel that he is an amazing teen and will do some amazing things due to God's want for his talents and gifts. He's got some serious future ahead of him, I only hope I can be involved.


Tell me about your journey to faith in Christ?
1. I have been in and out of faith. When I had him in my life things were great I felt at peace, but when behind closed doors I went back to my old ways. Now that I realize what I have done and there are people who will help me I have been living for Him for the longest I ever have.




What helped you the most to step over the line and make the commitment?
2. My friends definitely helped the most. Just seeing the ones who were without God it didn’t make sense any more to me to live like that and I wanted to change. There were people who helped me do that.


What has been the best part of becoming a Christ follower for you?
3. The best part is, knowing that I have someone to confide in; always no matter what happens. It feels like a safe haven that will get me through anything and it feels like I am actually free.
(from Luke - I love this, this is really what God gives and it shows so brightly)

What has been the most challenging part of following Christ?
4. The hardest part is being around those friends who don’t believe as much as I do. I wanted to change and I did, but sometimes they don’t think it’s the same person. And it just splits you, but it helps to confide in God.


What do you think is helping you grow the most in your faith?
5. My friends that believe and my family have helped the most. I can always count and fall back on them when I need to and they’re always there for me and I would do the same for them.




What advice do you have for me in helping others like you to grow in their faith?
6. You got to just get God in their life and show them that He is going to help and will save them if they follow Him. It’s easier said than done but that is all it took for me.
