I think it would be nice to know more about her. I'm more curious now. Like, Jacqueline, what kind of background did you grow up in?

Mine was all over the place very mixed. Was Lutheran most of the time until I was 14, with my parents having stinted in United and Prosperity Theology. Then we were excommunicated from Lutheran due to my parents allowing me to attend a Pentecostal youth group (and they asked the minister first). So then I became Pentecostal which was an amazing time. I got mixed up in Prosperity Theology for a few years. Ended up in Bible College and coming out feeling so much more secure in my faith and a conservative. Since coming to the UK I've been Baptist.

So many of those things haven given me periods of thinking on different aspects of faith.

Right now, my focus isn't so much what happens when I die. That's something I feel secure about. My focus has been understanding the people around me and learning how to reach them for Jesus. I'm more of a one on one person who takes on the long term task.

Last night when I checked this thread I saw your user online green icon. Come back and get to know us.

What circumstances have given you your passion?
