Essay Questions

1. Share your testimony of faith.

I grew up in a "Christian" home. My parents did not show any fruit of the spirit between Sundays and divorced when I was 8. As a teenager I looked for love in alcohol and relationships. I met my wife when I was 19. She put her faith in Christ when I was 31 and 6 months later when I was 32 I gave my life to Christ through the preaching of the Word at Indianola Community Church. I realized I was a sinner in need of a Savior and walked out as a NEW person in October of 2001!

2. Share your view of the Bible

Here is article 2 from the EFCA statement of faith which I affirm.
We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.

3. What is your goal in becoming a certified biblical peacemaker?

To help our pastors, churches, others I disciple be reconciled to God and others through using the Gospel tools you have.
