"I became a Christian at the age of
ten, after attending Living Waters Bible Camp, in Westby, WI. My parents
were not active members of a church but allowed me to attend if I wanted
to. As I got older, my parents became saved, but still never attended church.
I then later on, got involved with the Christian Martial Arts. Just recently,
after many changes with our school, and instuctor changes, God laid it
on my heart to leave, and I did as He requested. I believe in standing
up for Him, no matter what the fear of rejection may be, standing up for
Him for what He wants, and not what I want, and I feel God has laid it
on my heart as well to one day open up my own Christian based martial arts."
