As a child, Toby Lee would take the money his mother gave himfor church and spend it on himself, playing arcade games or buying things he enjoyed. Through a series of events, he came to the point where he found his life was noth ing; he purposed to live giving back to God. Though he did not grow up in a Christian family, Toby attended church as a child because of his mother, who was herself driven by an alcoholic husband. Toby didrit enjoy it at all, and he quickly found ways to skip. After many years, he finally told his mother that he did not want togo and she allowed himtostop. Afew years later a friend invited him to a summer youth camp where Toby saw a live portrayal of the death of Christ. As the Roman soldiers beat Christ, many of the teenagers were crying loudly. Toby did not know what to thi nk until
Christ was nailed to the cross and the actor portraying Him screamed to the crowd, “ Why are you crying? It$ because of your sins that I am here.’’ It was a t t h a tmoment t h a tToby realized that Christ came to earth for him, and without Christ, he was nothing. Toby became more involved in his youth group, but it was not until he went to another youth camp the next summer that he actually trusted Christ as his Savior. After hearing a cl ear Gospel presentation and Jim ElliottL life story, Toby dedicated his life to Christ. He real ized, “If I can live that kind of meaningful life, I will be happy!’ The boy, who had once stolen money meant for God to live for himself, de termined to give his life to God and to serve Him however he could.
