Conversion Experience
Allen: After reaching the lifelong goal of owning and operating a successful Design Firm, Allen suffered a mid-life crisis at the age of 25. Success had given him no satisfaction, and depression became a daily battle to conquer. He began to reevaluate the meaning of life, and the claims of Christ. Church soon became an addiction, and the word of God was His new love interest. Allen gave his life to Christ in 1996. After a year of intense growing in faith and knowledge of Christ, Allen decided to be baptized to declare publicly his commitment to Christ. The night before his baptism, he clicked on a Christian radio program just as they read this verse: “Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart with new and right desires, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new, obedient heart.” (Ezekiel 36:25-26)
Sharon: Sharon was raised in a Christian family in Delaware. At the age of 8 she was at a Christian summer camp when she clearly heard the gospel. She felt strongly convicted that she needed to respond to the message and went forward after the service and talked with one of the counselors. Sharon received Christ that day after being convicted that she was sinful and that Christ was King of all and the only One able to rid her of her sin and make her right with God. She gladly repented that day and received Christ into her life. At 11 years of age, Sharon was attending her local church when she heard about baptism and was convicted that she should be baptized since she was a believer and should not wait until she became an adult.
