 I'm Courtney and I'm born and raised in Tri-Cities. Courtney, please tell us how did you come about hunger generation? Well, I met Oxana Zendri this last year through a fitness group that we do together and she started going this past summer I believe and she would talk about it all the time, how great it was and another teammate of ours came to and he was kind of raving about how great this place was and it wasn't until about a month and a half ago just kind of some personal struggles I was going through I needed some healing, a little imbalance in my life and where I thought that was is like the spirituality and my relationship with God so decided to check it out and come ever since So tell us what was your experience when you first came here? It was awesome, I mean just the music, the service, all of it was great but probably more just the whole environment, just the warm welcoming I mean Oxana introduced me to a lot of people and I believe I came in next Sunday and just was greeted with some hugs and people that remembered my name so that was just really cool, nothing you know I've experienced before at a church I've gone to so Amazing, we know that last Wednesday you responded to the altar call can you please tell us your experience, what did you experience? I just I guess I felt kind of a weight off my shoulders I mean I think my struggle from not just in my own thoughts why I didn't do it the first day is I've never really not had God in my life but I just I think it was more in the background you know not understanding really what it was like to have a full relationship with him or the Holy Spirit and I don't know that it was an awesome service as everybody knows and I just personally you know felt from it and when he called people's names and other people talked about you just kind of get the fast heartbeat and that's what I felt and felt it was my time to just raise my hand and go up there Amazing, amazing, thank you And what are your goals as a follower of Jesus Christ and what are your goals right now? Just to continue to learn I feel like it's just the beginning for me that there's so much more for me to know so I'm just excited for the future of that I've already made some new friendships and learned from other people's journeys and I'm excited to continue to do that and brought a friend already here that's been coming and hopefully maybe more people helping them in their lives as well Amen, amen, amen And what advice can you give to people who might be just sitting here in their first time? What can you tell them? I would say you know if it's your first time or you've been coming for a while there's no right or wrong time to open yourself up You can take your time a little more like I did if you need to but when you do feel that it's when you get that feeling don't shy away from it just take it you'll feel a lot better once you think about it Amen, amen, thank you so much
