All family members on my dad’s side are Christians, which influenced my life to follow the ways of being a Christian. My parents and my aunt served at church and helped around a lot.
I have been going to church since I was 7 years old, and I used to read devotions every day and attend Sunday classes. I would go to many events and activities to participate in getting to know Jesus and the words of God.

I’m Leanne, and, for as long as I can remember, I’ve been going to church. I’d go, and I’d listen, and participate in all the different lessons we were taught during worship sessions.
