Matt
I was born into a Christian family. My family went to St Mary's Church in Willingdon. It is hard to say exactly when I became a Christian, but I had some vague awareness of a God I could talk to from an early age.
I went to a Free Church Youth Club at St Anthony's which was open to the youth of several local churches. There I became aware that God was personal and involved in our emotions - that we can know God personally.
Eventually, I went to Lancaster University and was part of the Christian Union there, an evangelical Christian Union which gave me an awareness as well as the importance of Scripture and the supremacy of the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. The first Alpha Course I went on confirmed the accuracy of these words as handed down through the generations.
I also met people of other faiths and beliefs, from atheists to the Bahai faith, and was challenged in my beliefs several times. Through those experiences, God strengthened me and I was assured of his faithfulness.
Now I want to make a public declaration of being one of God's followers.
