OWNING MY FAITH

JUANITA BOLLINGER

When did I own my faith?

I was 15 years old when I attended the Billy Graham crusade in 1952 in Pittsburgh. My mother and I joined the crusade choir and when Billy gave the invitation to come forward and accept Christ, I did just that, meeting my mom among those who came forward. She was always my prayer partner.

Forward 3 years, I entered nursing school and my roommate was from the Greenfield area, knew she was a Christian but never asked if she had a definite time of accepting Christ.

I discovered that she was at that Crusade the same night I was and gave her life to Christ. The Lord put us together as roommates 3 years later. That's when I knew that the Lord would always be with me and care for all that concerned me.

He saved a roommate for me. We are still friends to this day,74 years later.
