I BELIEVE!

Celebrating Baptisms September 13 testimonies

Ariana Herr (age 9) My name is Ariana Herr. I am in a family of seven. I have two younger brothers and two older sisters. I also like to read books and especially the Bible. I play softball and have a pet dog and a pet parakeet. The Bible sometimes seems complicated or unreal but going to College Church my whole life has helped me. At the end of each year, I feel closer to God and understand the Bible more than before. Now I understand and believe that Jesus is my Savior, and I'm on the right path with the Lord. I want to be baptized to become closer to the Lord. Being baptized is something that God wants Christians to do. The Lord has done a lot for me (like dying on the cross for my sins), so I want to obey him and be baptized.

George Truitt (age 16) I’m a sophomore at Wheaton Academy, and I play football and wrestle for sports. I also like to do quiz bowl, climbing team and trap shooting. I have been a Christian since the third grade, but in seventh grade, it started to click for me. When I had my hand injury during eighth grade in 2018, that’s when it sort of took a big leap, and it started being more of a personal faith. I want to be baptized because I want to make my faith publicly known, and I essentially want to say in front of a bunch of believers, “Hey, look at me! I’m a Christian and I am saved.”

Trevor Smith (age 16) I am 16. I go to Wheaton Warrenville South. Because I have God's Spirit in me, because I am a man of faith, because I am a prayer warrior, Jesus is my Savior. I know him a lot, and I know I can be with him forever in heaven.
