“God brought me to Himself at about the age of 4. My parents were devout believers and my Dad was in Bible College at the time. I remember hearing the gospel in Sunday School and I talked to my Mom about it one night before bed. It was clear to me that I was a sinner and I was not going to heaven if I died without accepting Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for me. I was brought to Christ out of fear of going to hell. I didn't want to go there if I died and there was only one other choice in my mind as a 4 year old. I wanted to go to heaven. It was and is that simple.” IfsWantYearsMindAgeWantedSchoolRememberNightChoicesJesusHeavenParentChristSimpleAcceptingHellClearCollegeMomDadBedJesus ChristCrossesDiedMy DadMy MomHearingBelieverSinnerSundayOne NightSunday SchoolGoing To Heaven Author:Ben Zobrist

“Every year my mom takes her 5th grade class on an outdoor education trip, and ever since I was born, I came with her. One thing I remember the most was this long, old rickety bridge held by two redwood trees. In order to get to the camp fire, you had to cross it. Each time I went across I made my brother carry me on his shoulders. It freaked me out sooooo much, even a little now when I think about it.” ThinkingYearsLittlesLongMadeTwoRememberOrderBornClassFireOne ThingTreeBrotherMomCrossesMy MomShouldersBridgesMy BrotherGradesCampsRedwoods Author:Zendaya
