Ian's Story
In all honesty my life before I met God was pretty good, although I always knew there was 
more out there which I could feel but couldn’t quite get my head around it. I came to God through a friend called Hannah I met in Frisbee at Loughborough. She was the first Christian I had ever met and I was curious so I fired loads and loads of questions at her; questions about sex before marriage, drink and why she believed. It all made sense so I decided I would say I was a Christian although I didn’t really believe it.
In January 2005 I began attending Open Heaven. One thing scared me though, people were singing and jumping about as well as raising their hands in the air in jubilation to God. I didn’t really get it until the third time I came to a gathering. The singing started, the arms went up, and I felt a hugely overwhelming feeling rush through me, the tears flowed and then I knew that I had met God. Finding a real relationship with God has made me want to be a better person, to live life as it was intended and use my gifts and talents to make the world a better place. It’s very exciting. God Bless.
Love Ian Scarrott
