Elizabeth's Story

The story of how God brought us to where we are today begins a long time ago. This is Elizabeth's story:

I became a follower of Jesus at a very early age. Even though I was so young, I think I understood that I had done things that were wrong. I learned that Jesus was punished in my place. When I was about five and a half years old I was at an evening church service one Sunday. I don't remember the sermon but I will never forget the song we sang at the end of the service. We sang about the untold millions still untold about Jesus. It broke my heart. When we shook the pastor's hand as we left, he wanted to know why I was crying. My mother said she thought I must be tired. I knew the real reason, but I didn't have the words to explain.

As I was growing up missionaries were my heroes. The missionaries that I knew of were also doctors. So I thought that to be a missionary, I had to be a doctor. I wanted to be a missionary doctor when I grew up. As I grew older I did not see how that would work out. When I realized I would probably never be a doctor, I also forgot about being a missionary.

When I was seventeen, I felt that God wanted me to go to Bible College, although at that time I did not have a specific career in mind. I only knew that I wanted to learn more about the Bible. In Bible College I met Dan.
