I heard about Lift through a friend of mine during my first year at
McMaster. I would show up every so often, attending only when it was
convenient for me. I was a Christian but it was evident from my
lifestyle that I wasn't pursuing God, let alone witnessing to others. I
eventually reached a point where I needed to decide whom I would serve
- myself or Christ. Through His grace I wanted Him to be the center of
my life again.

I began attending Lift regularly and it was one of the best decisions
I've ever made. The new relationships I started to make were selfless
and authentic. I became a part of a community that wanted to make a
difference. I was baptized and my life was changed. The way I was
encouraged to live, pray, and worship was a huge blessing. I was no
longer living for myself, but trying to live as an example to others.

Lift has provided me with many opportunities to develop myself as a
Christian leader through service and small group discussion. I have
also been able to reach out to the local community through the on- and
off-campus events that Lift is involved with, and hope that I am able
to find time to go on a missions trip with Lift. I am now in my fourth
year at McMaster and I don't know where I'd be right now if I hadn't
been led to Lift. I pray that other Christians are as blessed by their
church as I have been.
