Evan was involved in a small youth group at his home church until he went away to college. While at college his faith was tested, but eventually strengthened to the point that he felt compelled to return to his home church and share his passion for Christ with his youth group. He shared one night with 17 students who all were transformed as a result of hearing the simple 4-point message:

2. You must put away any doubtful habit out of your life.
3. You must obey the Spirit's promptings immediately.
4. You must confess your faith in Christ publicly.

All this began with one college student fully surrendered to the Lord. Read more
