Louis Brooker
I have been going to Holbrooks Evangelical Church since I was very young. I have always enjoyed going church, have enjoyed church life and especially going to Sunday School and the Youth. I was taught from an early age that attending church, living a good life or going to the youth group will not get you to heaven. I knew I needed to put my life right before God and ask Christ to forgive me.
At the age of 13 I became very aware that I was a sinner and that I was going to Hell unless I asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins. So one night in July 2004 I asked Christ to forgive me and I knew I had been forgiven. I did not tell many about what had happened in my life and looking back I realise that I should have done.
Just after our church camp in 2005 I became very ill and ended up with pneumonia. I was off school for a long time and all my sporting activities came to a halt. While I was in this condition and feeling very weak I considered my walk before God, although I knew that I was forgiven I also knew that I was not living as I ought. It was during my illness I resolved to change my ways and although I still let him down through Christ's help I try hard to please Him.
