At the time I thought I was happy, but in reality I was bored and frustrated with my life. Although I was a Christian, I wasn&#8217;t living for anything that I really believed in. I knew God had a purpose for everyone, but I felt completely disconnected from that personally and didn&#8217;t know what to do about it.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nOne of the most amazing things that I found at Lifehouse, was I found vision for my life. Something to live for! I realized that life truly comes alive when you are serving Jesus and building His kingdom. I found purpose in belonging to and contributing to a life giving local church. I discovered gifts and passions that I had no idea I had. I learned that I could make a difference in someone else&#8217;s life even though I was far from perfect and was still working out my own life. <\/p>\n<p>Finding vision has altered the whole trajectory of my life and has lead to uncountable blessings. I became much stronger in my faith at Lifehouse. I met my wife at Lifehouse. Discovered my gifts at Lifehouse. Met the greatest friends at Lifehouse. Was healed in my heart at Lifehouse. Found purpose at Lifehouse. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to put into words just how much I have been blessed just by being part of Lifehouse Church. Truly Jesus works through His Church. <\/p>\n<p>Thank you Ps Rod and Ps Viv for sacrificing so much so that so many could be blessed. I love Lifehouse!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 years ago I walked into Lifehouse Church Tokyo.
