Simon's Big News

Here is Simon's testimony of his faith in Jesus Christ! We have prayed for Simon since before he was born that he would come to believe in Jesus personally, and we always wondered how and what it would look like ..... We wanted to preserve his testimony somehow (hence video) since so many people who trust in Christ at an early age sometimes have a hard time remembering it or questioning it. Simon had the idea that we could "write it down," but then he wanted to make a video so that the whole world could see and know how good God is (his words). Simon was articulating how good God is, how Jesus is God and never sinned and how he needed to be forgiven and ask Jesus to be King of his life. We told Simon later that night that even the fact he was able to realize that he is not good and not king is God's grace because some people never believe and surrender. So, even the fact that you CAN believe is God's grace ..... It's all about God and what he has done, and it's not about us.

I love it Amy....that is awesome. Save this for later. Hopefully he will never go through that 20 year old stage of doubt like I did!!! Although, that might just have been selfishness, I wanted to be King, er....Queen!!! Love you!
