 My name is Heather Montgomery. I'm originally from Pendleton, Oregon But for the last five years I've been living here in Tri-Cities, Washington I was invited to a Wednesday night miracle-catch service by my friend Priscilla Medina My initial thoughts of the church was it was kind of like I walked into an environment And I just felt like the sensation of being at home a couple of the other churches. I have gone to I didn't feel like I could Do worship how I wanted or just feel comfortable. So it's kind of just like I was where I belonged. So Before giving my life to Christ, I had always grown up with that influence of creation So I was also in different homes couchsurfed a little bit grew up in foster care Also making bad decisions to fulfill a void that was in my life Also gave into temptations and just trying to fulfill a loneliness because I didn't have that fulfillment from Jesus so a turning point in my life for me was actually when my foster mom was diagnosed with bone cancer at that point I kind of just threw my hands up and Also my relationships were failing. It just was kind of like a cycle Escalate in downfall and so I kind of just threw my hands up and was like Jesus take it all show me where you want me to go and it was actually after that that Priscilla had invited me to the Wednesday night service I attended and So on last Sunday, I actually fully gave my life to Christ and was saved Ilya was speaking and he had mentioned that if you strayed away from Christ or you never really had that relationship with him That there is a you are you can't be saved and so at that point that's when I just felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and I raised my hand and gave my everything to God so tonight I'm getting baptized to show my commitment and my love for Jesus Christ Heather do you believe in Jesus Christ as God's son in your personal Lord and Savior? Yes, I do Do you promise to follow him with good and clear conscience for the rest of your life? Yes, I do Based on your faith Confession and your commitment.
