About Noah

Growing up I never had what tends to look like the "normal Christian childhood," I had an amazing mother and a loving stepfather who, due to his job, wasn't home very often. For a few years, I would stay with my biological father every other weekend, sadly he was not a good person, and when my sister and I stopped staying with him, it didn't take long for him to completely abandon us. From that point on the only people I really trusted were my mom and my sister, however, I never was very open with them for many years. I grew up in church but I never really understood what was being taught; it all made sense and I definitely believed it, but as a child I never understood faith. It wasn't until I was 12 years old that late one night I realized that when I died, I wouldn't be with my family and I would never be with Jesus. That night I trusted in Jesus as my savior and from then on my walk with Christ almost never grew. For most of my youth, I would go and do camp crew every summer, get on a "spiritual high," then come home and go back to the life I was living. It wasn't until I was 17 that things really changed; I hit rock bottom and had nothing left to turn to but God, and through that, he showed me all the things that I had never understood, most significant of all being love. After that, I decided that my life was devoted to serving Jesus and decided for certain that I was going to attend the Word Of Life Bible Institute. Through that year, God gave me a passion for foster care and orphan-centered ministry which I hope to work in for the rest of my life.
