Meet Colin

Colin K. Bio:

"I was born and raised in Federal Way, Wa. I grew up going to church every Sunday for Sunday school, A.W.A.N.A. on Wednesdays and youth group on Tuesdays. Although I was at church 3 or more days a week I didn't authentically know God. During 7th and 8th grade, I played b-ball at Sacajawea middle school. During these two years, I realized the sin in the world. Other students cursed A LOT, smoked, drank alcohol and looked at porn magazines around campus. All these temptations strained my relationship with God. As time went on I eventually realized my sinful nature and needed to figure out who I was living for, me or God?
Eventually I understood my priorities in life and decided to live for God. Over these past 2 years I have really begun to grow in my faith. I have started to really enjoy reading my Bible and praying. Now spending time with God is an important, necessary and desired aspect of my life."

Colin is a part of The Fishing Project. He decided to make a commitment to be more bold about sharing his faith with those around him. When asked about TFP, Colin replied; "The Fishing Project is a mission group founded by Amy... designed to reach out to the people of our schools and community, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ... It is going very well!"

Two of Colin's favorite Bible verses are:
James 1:2-4 "Consider is pure joy my brothers whenever you face trials of many kids, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

"This verse really helps me know that God is always there for me," Colin says, "and through all things I am being cared for. Through trials I grow in my faith."

And; 1 Timothy 4:12 "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity."

"I love this verse because it inspires me to be an example for everyone, even those who are older than me." - Colin K.
