1.How did you become a Christian?

I was adopted from Spurgeons Children’s Home by Christian parents. We lived in a nursing home where death was a reality, and I knew for as long as I can remember that this life is not all that matters. I turned to Jesus at a young age, with the usual ups and downs through my teenage years, until I was convicted by a talk on 2 Timothy 4v10: “Demas has deserted me because he loved the world.”
