My Testimony

George Carter

The one serious thought I had as I grew up was, “Someday I will change.”
Why did I think I needed a change?

During my growing years as a boy I lived a life which I knew was not right,
but I had determined I was going to have fun and live the kind of life I
wanted to. I found my self involved in a number of things.

I skipped school allot, ran with a gang and generally kept bad company,
occasionally got drunk. Among other things I also begin stealing and
breaking into places. As I became older I felt I did not have enough money
to make myself happy.

After joining the army, although still drinking and having so called fun, I
began to think more serious about life, especially after being sent to Korea
. You see I was a (PK) Preachers Kid and although my Dad was killed when I
was young, I believe his life left me with a sense of right and wrong.

Among other things that happened to give me a wake up call was a booklet I
read at this time. It confronted me with this question: Do you think, do you
hope, or do you know you are saved? This made a deep impression on me as I
did not know. I began to pray that I might be saved. As you might know,
after this I begin to read other things along this line that brought me to
assurance of faith in Christ. When I came back to the United States I was
baptized.

This was a big turning point in my life, as I now found I had a new
relationship with God, and found a new joy, and reason for living. From this
point onward I begin to put the Lord first in my life, although falling at
times, I have found living for Him brings the satisfaction I couldn't find
as a youth growing up. I now have a purpose larger than myself, and try to
please Him and live a life helping others for Him

Would you like to find a life of satisfaction, peace and joy in Christ, and
most of all a life pleasing your Creator, by finding forgiveness of sin and
a purpose bigger than yourself.

I¹d love to hear from you
