Sister passed away
When I was 4, my sister passed away due to complications at the hospital. -
First time going to Church
The year is approximate, not exact, but somewhere around the age of 7 I would have gone to church for the first time. It was a Baptist Church in Nova Scotia, Canada -
First thoughts of suicide
At 10 years old, I felt for the first time that death was my best option. This came from lies that had been put into my mind from the friends that I had lost. Fortunately, my mom was able to stop me before I tried anything. -
First close friend
When I was 8 years old, I made my first ever real friend. He lived down the street from me, and had a super cool house. -
Loss of all my friends
As you know the general story behind, I lost all my friends in a rather tragic fashion at the age of 10 -
First Baptism
I got baptized around the age of 13. I like to call it 'getting dunked under water by a pastor', though, because I didn't really know what I was committing to. I did it because it was what I thought the right thing to do was, not fully because I was ready to give my whole life to Jesus. -

Pornography addiction
An on and off battle with the most foul, mind rotting thing I've ever encountered. I'm free from it right now, but truthfully, it's only been 2 months. -
Period: to
Depression
I was deeply suicidal for this entire time. It's shocking to everyone who knew me growing up that I'm alive today. Healing from this can only be described as a miracle from the Lord -
Parent's DTS
It was in my parent's DTS that I was shown that I was loveable, and it was there that I found freedom from depression. -

Parent's SOE
My parents did their School of Evangelism in 2019. This is where I started to step into my own relationship with the Lord for the first time, although it was far from the end of separating my relationship with Him from theirs, this is where it began. -

My DTS
I did my DTS in Mazatlan in 2021. It was the Burning Hearts Track. This was one of the most transformational times of my life. -
Confirmed my Baptism
I got baptized on the same day that I got held at gunpoint. It was the day after I had committed to 2 years of singleness. I realized that for the first time I was actually wanting to live my life for God, and had a relationship with Him that was my own. I had been wanting to get baptized again for a while, because I wanted to actually mean it. So on the day where God saved my life, I gave it back to Him. -
Outreach in Mexico, Turkey, and Egypt
For me, I feel like I grew more during the lecture phase of my DTS than I did on outreach, however, this was still one of the craziest experiences I've ever had. Seeing God move in these countries was such an honour, and I can't wait to return to them someday. -
Worked at Christian summer camp in Canada
This was a very hard experience, but one I'm super grateful for. It showed me a lot of weak points in my character, and my faith, and ultimately set me up best to come into DBS with a teachable heart. -
DBS
I came into DBS not believing the Bible could possibly be the word of God. I had never given the Bible a real chance, but knew that I had felt God calling me to the school. Despite everything I had been through with Him, none of it was based in truth, and thus, I was very open to attacks from the enemy. I viewed the DBS as the last chance I was giving God. Throughout the school, I've become convinced of the fact that the Bible is the word of God, and I'm falling more in love with him every day.
