What is your short testimony?
I grew up in a Christian home with parents who have genuine faith. Our family was very involved in church and I was heavily involved in youth group growing up. I was confirmed in the Methodist church at 13, however in retrospect I can say that I knew the right things to say but was not in a relationship with Jesus. I was rebellious in high school and this only increased in college when I was away from home. After college the Lord decided to strip away my job and my roommates all in a very short period of time. I hit what is probably the lowest point in my life, prayed to God in earnest for the first time in my life and He gave me a glimpse of mercy that I could not overlook. He then introduced me to a young lady who was a missionary that had just returned from Romania and she proceeded to tell me the Truth about who Jesus is and why my previous views of moral relativism were far short of God’s plan for my salvation. I would say this is where I really met Jesus. These discussions and subsequent discipleship are what led me to the beginnings of the relationship I have with Jesus today.

What is your hope for Eternal Church?
That we would be a people who exude the aroma of Christ, in word and deed.  That we would be known as His disciples by our love, not just for one another, but for all God's image bearers, both locally and geographically dispersed.  And that we'd be instruments for the Gospel mission of the Kingdom so that His name might be magnified.
