Jacob’s Salvation Testimony
I was saved when I was 7 yrs old after telling my Mom I didn’t want to go to hell. She was able to lead me to the Lord in her room.

Three schools stood out to me. I took two weeks off work to visit all three schools. My first stop would be to go to the OGTC since I had been invited to go to the Missionary send off service. Then I would head to my top two school choices. The day before I was supposed to leave, I had a call from my top choice telling me not to come due to a Covid outbreak at the school. This completely derailed my plans to visit all three schools. After talking to my Dad, we decided to still go to the send off service and check out the school the next day.
