My Testimony

"Revised correction, i noticed some errors"

I have shared with you the very passions of my life but for those who are asking who is this Graham Boyd and how did he become the person that he is today.

I did the sunday school thing at St Chads Anglican Edenvale and during those years I had a lot of questions in my mind and the main one was "Why does everyone talk about the cross" needless to say I never did ask that question in public and started doubting things and in the end departed from the church and 4 years later a seed was planted that would forever change and answer the very question and heres how, My brother was in Grahamstown with my parents checking in to Rhodes University and I went to stay with a best friend Leslie Miller whose parents belong to Honeyridge Baptist in Randpark Ridge, that Sunday I went along and the sermon was delivered by Leigh Robinson who was the senior pastor at the time. Little did I know that it would change my life, just over a year later I was invited by my brothers best friend to Friday night youth at Edenvale Baptist and so I went along (Just a week beforehand I was on my knees and finally coming home to God and handing my life over to him). That was the start of something big, I started out just going along to Friday Night Youth being run by the youth pastor at the time Mike Geldenhuys and then home cell and then Sunday night church after continous encouragements. What has happened afterwards and how far God has brought me is beyond my imagination. For me to list involvements would be boasting and instead as as leader (Youth and church welcoming team), gymnast for christ and skater for christ I continue to humble myself and at times particularly late this week laying down my agenda for others even though the thought of missing something you love does suck but our dreams dont just happen without a few challenges along the way. I am not perfect but I am at least thankful that I'm not the person I was.
