Faith Testimony -
I was saved at the age of 21 from a very dark and sin filled life. A Christian man by the name of Dick Katzenbach, that I worked with, used to witness to me. God started to really work on my cold heart. Dick used to invite me to Friend Day at the church. I came one year and when the next year rolled around, and he asked me to come again, I said yes.

I never made it that Sunday because I was in jail for hitting a police officer. While I was in jail, God really worked on my heart. I decided I needed to change but did'nt really know how to so I started coming to Xenia Nazarene regularly.

One night at home I was watching Christian television and a preacher said, "If you need Jesus, pray this prayer." I did and God met me in a powerful way. He changed my life forever and is still changing me. Shortly after being saved, God called me into the ministry. It has been a great time filled with blessings and the rest is history.  Thank you Jesus!!!!!!!!
