Bio: My name
is Thomas de la Rey, I'm 19 years old. I have one older brother and a very
loving family. I just finished my first year of the Business program at North
Island College, and plan on continuing to study here for the full 4 years!
Testimony: I was on a path destined for failure before I knew Christ. I was getting into the wrong things with the wrong crowd at school, and it looked like there was no hope. My parents were always upset about my lack of respect and a poor attitude and my bad grades were just the cherry on the cake of disappointment. Going to church was always a hassle for me, I would go because my parents asked me to, I was always counting down the minutes until it was time to go home. I don’t remember having a moment of epiphany where everything in my life just changed in an instant, but in time Christ radically changed my heart when I finally accepted Him as my Lord, Saviour, Friend and Father. My life changed more than I thought was possible, everything fell into place once I started attending church because I wanted to and not because I was nagged by parents. I am forever grateful that they didn't give up on me and continued to take me because having Jesus in my life is the best thing that's ever happened to me, and I have them to thank for introducing me to the King.
Hopes for Summer:
My hopes for the Summer are to see tons of people come to Christ and to see
existing relationships strengthened and secured. I hope to lead with courage,
love, and understanding, being an example of Christs love for His people. I
hope to meet a bunch of new people and to have a ton of fun during these coming
14 weeks here at Comox Pentecostal Church.
