Born in Massachusetts, Jill was raised in a Christian but legalistic environment. She longed for a relationship with Jesus. She would set a place for Him at the table and Imagine Jesus holding her hand before sleeping. There was the mental anguish of trying to be ‘perfect’ for Jesus.
At 14, Jill wrote in her diary, “God, you and Christianity don’t work! I’m going to walk away from you!” She noticed her mum changing. All the buttons Jill tried to push to aggravate her didn’t work! Finally, Jill asked “what happened to you? You’re different”. Mum shared her conversion and new positive relationship with Jesus. This profoundly influenced Jill.
Today Jill and hubby Greg, are in ministry with 3ABN. Through times of discouragement, (including a fling with soap operas for Jill), and discovering they couldn’t have children, would be enough to bring people down. But it didn’t. Listen as Jill shares how God led her and Greg through to total surrender and trust.
