I grew up in Swift Current and was taught the importance of church attendance, Sunday School, and youth group. When I was a child, I had the good news about Jesus explained to me which is what I wanted right then. In my teen years, I came to realise, I had not truly understood the Gospel as a younger child. It was at age 13, attending summer Bible camp, where I was strongly impacted by the messages from the camp speaker. As a result of this, I recognised I had not truly understood the seriousness of my sins and the very true reality of Heaven and Hell. I went home from camp that summer constantly thinking about what I had heard at camp and trying to process it all. It was later on that summer as I was feeling convicted that I accepted Jesus as my Saviour. 
I enjoyed youth group, youth events, and my friends through the high school years. I now had a peace that passes understanding that comes from God. Knowing this was a great blessing as life would only prove to be more challenging moving forward. This would become more apparent as an adult, through some steep challenges and valleys. The following truth has proved to be certain: God is always good, His faithfulness is great, and His peace is real and surpasses my understanding.
Adult life has also brought many blessings too numerous to list, but include my marriage to Jaime in 2007. I also have two adult sons who are married and residing in Medicine Hat, as well as an adult step-daughter who resides in Swift Current.
As an adult, I have attended several churches around Swift Current and was baptised at a local church in 1992. Most recently, Jaime and I have felt blessed to be able to attend Restoration House these past 4 years. It has been a privilege to worship and serve at RH.
