My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)
I was born and raised in an atheist family. Any attempts at finding God on my part were quickly ridiculed or "logically" invalidated. By the time I grew up I was thoroughly indoctrinated into atheistic beliefs. So it was surprising to find that during a near death experience I didn't simply snuff out like a candle. I left earth and viewed it from a distant point in space. That's when Jesus tapped me on the shoulder (I was in a weightless spiritual body, so was He) and He told me "If you leave now, you'll never go back. Are you sure you want to do that?" I said "Wait, there are things I have to do there!" I immediately snapped back into my earthly body and could breathe, whereas I couldn't breathe before. The image I saw of Jesus has been seared into my mind ever since. It was a turning point in my life because before, I rarely thought about God but afterward I sought out everything I could learn about religion and God. But I didn't get it, didn't become Christian until recently, when I picked up a hitchhiker who had a sign that said "Trust Jesus". He stayed at my house for about 3 weeks and through him things became much more clear to me. This is where I learned about confessing my sins and finding redemption and true friendship in Jesus.
Dream Job: (If you could have your dream job in the comics industry, what would it be?)
I would make comic books that would tell the truth about what I've come to know and experience of God and our Lord Jesus.
Favorite Comic Creators:
Ralph Ellis Miley, Doug TenNapel

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
