1. How did you become a Christian?

I was 18, and in the February before my A Levels, I heard a series of three Lent talks on consecutive nights. I went every night (I don’t know why!). I’d always been someone who was happy to talk about God, but never Jesus. That was far too specific. However, the speaker was unashamed and clear about knowing Him. That was enough to sow the seeds for joining the club soon after.
