Summary
I was saved by the grace of God when I was 8 years old at Maple Grove Baptist Church where my grandfather Rev. JC Swanson was the pastor. I heard the Gospel and accepted Jesus as my Savior. I was baptized the next week into membership and I have been walking in faith with Him everyday since. I believe the Bible is Gods infallible word. Jesus took on flesh and endured the cross for everyone. It did NOT end there praise God! Jesus rose from the grave that third day conquering death, hell and sin. Romans 10:9 says "If you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised him from the dead you will be saved". Praise God for that good news! I love our children and young people but they are being attacked by the evil one everyday. I am burdened for the salvation of young people and discipline them to know what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
