Jenna's Story:
As a kid I struggled with feeling alone and not wanting to be away from people or my parents. I remember times when I didn’t want to go to school or anywhere else because I was scared of all kinds of things. I grew up in the church, even going places with my grandfather who was a pastor, but accepting Christ just always felt like something I was supposed to do, not a life changing event.

When I was 15, I truly accepted Christ at summer camp. I remember after praying and truly accepting Christ I had a confirmation in my heart and mind. My life has not been the same since! I still struggle with things, but now I have a hope and peace that passes all understanding. My parents divorced when I was 12, and while it was really hard for me, I know that God has used that situation in my life and so many others. My true desire is to see students and parents truly live out Deuteronomy 6!
