TESTIMONY

My name is Rebecca Campa and I heard about Jesus at a very young age, through Sunday school and Gems Girl’s Club at Willingdon Church. I was born with profound hearing loss and my Cochlear implant allowed me to hear about His salvation and love for me. I asked Him into my heart with the understanding that I was a sinner and needed my saviour’s forgiveness through repenting. However, it wasn’t until later in high school that my relationship with Jesus was strengthened through questioning and finding answers with my family’s support and my life changed to have more joy and purpose as I had a greater understanding and personal connection to Jesus.

I remember the night my sister had her surgery and coming home from the hospital listening to the radio song ‘Thy Will Be Done’. I felt God’s presence as I listened to the song on repeat, praising the Lord for I realized that He is in control of all things and so I felt comforted knowing that He has a perfect plan for my life. A year later, while worshipping the Lord in a concert, I felt the Holy Spirit’s presence with me in a fresh way and I remember recomitting my life to the Lord once again as I was surrounded by God’s people. In my high school science classes, topics such as evolution and how the world began were discussed with my peers. My faith was solidified through sharing my belief in how science supports God’s creation story and my desire is to continue sharing with others about what God has done in my life. As time went on, my relationship with God grew; my trust and faith became personal and His impact on my life was now apparent.

Now, I want to commit my life to the Lord publicly and show others that I have surrendered to Him, through being baptized. I want to continue to rely on God’s grace and mercy. I praise the Lord with gratefulness that I was chosen by God to have a relationship with Him, that He has paid for all my sin, and to know he comforts me in all circumstances. Going forward, I am excited for what He has in store for me. A promise that I continue to hold to is: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness,” Lamentations 3:22-23.
