After repeatedly resisting his wife's invitation to attend church, Matt Borino at last decided to attend. "I don't know why I decided to go, but the first time I walked into the Middleton Church, I thought Jesus Himself was standing at the door with His arms open," says Borino. The welcome led Borino to start Bible studies and, in February, he was baptized.
Borino says, "I was raised with the understanding that if you want something, no one else can get it for you; only I can get it or provide it for my family." Today, though, Borino is setting his self-reliant background aside and learning to put his trust and faith into the Lord. He is excited about sharing his love of Jesus with others, and when he tells a story about sharing Jesus with someone, his face lights up. He has caught the excitement of sharing Jesus.
