What Age Did You Become a Christian

1. Even today I'm very reluctant to ask someone to pray for me because I can do it myself.

Thank you for that prayer request - I'll add it to my list.

I've been a Christian for as long as I can remember. I was about five, which is incidentally about when my earliest memories are from. My story is a boring one. I've never had the times of deep doubt or darkness that a couple others have had. My faith has just kinda been there, my whole life. Like rogue, I've had "back-burner" times, but never any serious doubts about the truth of it.

From the outside, I've been told that I appear to "have it together." My older brother, in fact, used that exact phrase when he caught me doing something I ought not have, years back. I've never figured out why that is--why people think I "have it together"--but man...they really don't know me at all. I am selfish, lazy, and negligent. Anything I do that's not one of those is either an act on my part or something I have made a deliberate effort to do. I guess what I mean is there's never been any real doubt in my mind as to my need for salvation--and increasingly so as I get older.

I was 19 and was outside of the Airman's Club in Offutt AFB, NE. His name was Randy, and he led me to the Lord. He was a good friend and never pushed me to believe.

I was 16 years old when I said the sinner's prayer after being invited to a Youth retreat (and paid for) and after a small group discussion on the second day where another student was in tears because he knew he was in sin, but was able to smile because Jesus loved him anyways. From my perspective, he had more joy and more real emotion than I had ever had, and I wanted that, when I said so a pastor led me in the prayer. Over the course of the next month or so I realized that indeed I was in need of a savior, and indeed, I was willing to to obey Him. My whole life has been transformed by the power of Jesus.
