EMMA describes her faith
in Jesus as a 'second chance
to live.'
"I was someone who
did the wrong things, got
in with the wrong crowd,
had wrong relationships.
The violence of one of those
wrong relationships made
me look for a new life."
Emma tells how she
knew very little about God
and what Christian things
were all about, so finding
faith in Jesus was a real, new experience for her.
In particular, at her baptism, Emma had a deep
experience of the Holy Spirit.
"When I came up out of the water, I felt cold, empty
and like a baby. But then I felt this warmth creeping
over me and the Holy Spirit came to me - I was born
into my new life with God as my Father.
"Now He is teaching me how to live this new life."
