Hello, my name is Amy. I attend to a non-denominational church, Hope Alive Christian Center. It's in Overland Park, Kansas, a town outside of Kansas City. I have been in this church since April 2004. I thank God for finding me. I believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior, Christ died on the Cross for each one of us for our sins. I believe that we MUST repent and turn from our old self. For example, things we used to do, even if it's harming anyone or anything. I believe everything that we do should glorify our God. I realized if it wasn't for God, I wouln't be able or have the desire to live. I want to devote my whole life to God by doing His will. Be a servant to His people on this earth. I'm hoping to become a missonary/speaker within the next five years for this and the next generation of youth and college age.

I moved from China to America in 1995 . I started going to a baptist church in Lenexa, KS. I was there for eight years and learned the basic of Christianity. I was baptized on Christmas Eve 2000. I thought I was giving up my whole life to God, but much later I learned from a friend name Kelly, that being a Christian was something completely different than what I was doing. Although I believe there was a God, and He send His son Jesus Christ to died on the cross for our sin, so that we might go to heaven. But I wasn't living a life that pleases God. I thought I had everything right. I didn't do any drugs, smoke, drink or curse. I went to church every Sunday. I did what I thought a normal Christian would do. But I was living a lie. I never read my Bible until it was Sunday. I never ever really spent anytime with God. The only time I would listen to Christian music is going to church and at church. Calling myself a Christian, I watched ungodly movies, listening to music that I know didn't please God. Wearing immodesty clothes that I know would make a guy lust. One time I even went into a club illegally with a friend and took couple sips of corona. I would ask for forgiveness for the same sins over and over again, my relationship with God didn't grow at all within those eight years. Kelly finally show me what a real Christian was. A Christian would try everything they could to strive for holiness and spent time with Him each day. We need give up earthly thing such as movies we watch, music we listen to, places we go to that wouldn't glorify God. It took some time but God finally gave me enough strength to give up all those worldly junk. It wasn't hard it just took a long time, but isn't it selfish of us that we can't even give up these things when God gave His perfect Son to died for us.

Ephesians 4:22 "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."

Luke 9:23 "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."
