Lucas Pender: A Personal Relationship with God
Hello, my name is Lucas Pender and this is my first year at Camp TED. I’m 15 years old and live outside of Boston, Massachusetts. I grew up in a Christian home and always knew about Jesus or at least heard His name. I always went to church on Sundays, prayed to God, and knew all the answers in Sunday school. I remember my Sunday school teacher teaching us about heaven and hell and I knew for a fact that…

Hello. My name is Jennie Pelletier and my husband is Joe. If you attend church here at Cornerstone then you have probably seen us both serving on the worship team. Well, at least you will see Joe since I sit behind the drums most of the time. About 1 year ago I stood up here and presented my faith story of how I came to saving faith in Jesus. During this story, I shared how important to me was the…
Melanie Obear: They told my parents I was the “Devil’s child.”
I grew up in a Christian home, went to a church and all that, but did not understand a lot of what was happening.

Caleb Bradshaw: Casual Christianity
Hello, my name is Caleb Bradshaw. I live in Littleton with my Mom and Dad, along with my five siblings: Stephanie, Micah, Anna, Mubeshire, and Bona.

Meaghan Tiano: What The World Offers
Romans 15:13, says “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” When I first heard this scripture was when I first realized those who trust IN GOD for authority, direction, and wisdom, are to be filled BY GOD with ALL JOY, ALL PEACE. But this meaning is exactly where I stumbled over for so long. The person…

My name is Jeremy Ralls, and I will be sharing my faith story with you tonight. I live in Dunstable with my Dad and Mom, John and Ann, and my sister Allison. Ever since I was born, I was raised as a Christian. To me, everyone in the world was part of the church. It seemed like all I needed to do to be a Christian is go to church every Sunday, read the Bible, and pray to God before…

I am Molly and I live with my Mom, Dad two sisters, Ruthie and Cammie, and my brother Sawyer in Westford. I moved here a year ago from Texas. I have grown up going to church. But I am still a sinner.
