I grew up in the church and was always very active, but it wasn't until I moved away after college that I really made a personal decision to follow Christ. I started reading the Bible and understood that I was a sinner and was in desperate need of a savior. My wife, Sara, and I met serving in college ministry and it continues to be a large part of our life as we help lead the Young Adult Ministry at Living Faith. We love serving at Living Faith and witnessing all God is doing through this church community. A member of LFCC since 2016. ![]() JOHN CAIRO Term: 2020-2023 Married to JoAnn for 42 years.

However, as I approached my high school years, I realized I was being challenged daily to make the right decisions and please God. The Lord provided a group called Campus Life where I found like-minded believers and accountability. While that seems like a long time ago, God has continued to stand by me as I grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My journey to a meaningful relationship with God began over 25 years ago. It all started when a friend witnessed to me not only through words, but also actions. We are truly blessed and honored to be at the service of Yahweh. God is powerful but also personal, big enough to hold the whole world in His hands yet small enough to reside in our heart. We therefore endeavor to “press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called [us] heavenward in Christ Jesus (Phil 3:14). I presently serve as an Usher and as a Ranger at Crusade Service Bri-gade. In the past I served as a Round Table Facilitator, Mission Committee member, and Elder.

Every day I look forward to what He has in store for me and how I can serve Him, until that glorious day I stand in His magnificent presence in hope of hearing those words “Well done, good and faithful servant”.
