FULL NAME
Jeremiah Levi Behrens
BORN WHERE & WHEN
I was born in Des Moines, IA; March 19th 1980
FAMILY:
I am married to my best friend Melody. We have two wonderful extended families that we enjoy spending time with.
HOW I MET MY WIFE:
During our Sophomore Year at Baptist Bible College we began working in the same ministry at a small church near Clarks Summit, PA. During that school year a group of four of us took a long road trip out to the Grand Rapids, MI area to visit friends and family. Melody stayed up all night talking with me so I would not fall asleep while driving. After that 13 hour ride our relationship grew and we began officially dating. Two years later we were engaged and then married a year later in July of 2003.
HOW I BECAME A CHRISTIAN:
I was eight years old and it was a Sunday evening that my father led me to the Lord. It was following evangelistic meetings our church had, when we got home that night my dad and I talked further about the messages and what Christ did on the cross for us,we read through John 3:16 -18 and I remember praying to ask for forgiveness of my sins and ask Jesus into my life. During my senior year of High school God used our Bible teacher to challenge me and encouraged me to be growing in my personal relationship with Christ and to consider serving Him with every aspect of my Life.
