A decision to trust in Jesus Christ is required.

To place your trust in Christ you may pray the following:
Jesus, I desire to know and follow your love and plan for my life. I admit that I have sinned and need your forgiveness. Thank you for dying on the cross for me. I surrender my life into your hands. Begin now to make me into the person you desire me to be.
