"i didn't love myself. i felt like i was a disappointment. i did a lot of sinful things that i'm not proud of. i grew up in a christian home, and thought just going to church was all you needed. then i went to a young life camp. i thought it was just about having the best week of your life, just having fun. it opened up my eyes, and i started hanging out with ed, but i still went back to doing some of the things i knew i shouldn't be doing.

after my second time at camp, everything changed.

the last day came, and i talked with ed and realized i should really change my routine. God gave his only son for us to have a second chance at the life that we can have. that's my testimony."
