Brandon Arnold, a Baptist Collegiate Ministry student leader with GraceLife ministry at Towson University, said he attended church, wore a cross around his neck and called himself a Christian in high school while living with what he now describes as “false assurance.”
Sharing his conversion story, Brandon, a senior at TU majoring in finance and accounting, said, “I didn’t really have a relationship with Jesus.” Travel sports programs eventually pushed Sundays aside. After that, he said, “I got caught up in a sinful lifestyle, satisfying my own desires and trying to be the god of my own life. And the whole time, I would’ve called myself a Christian.”
But God…
But God! “The Lord, in His sovereignty and power, opened my eyes. I had no desire for God before that, and then my affections and every aspect of my life began to change.”
He looks back gratefully on a group of people who, without his knowledge, were specifically and persistently praying for him. God answered those prayers. Brandon is thankful for the many people who prayed and poured into him.
