CHASE & BRITTANY BOUTWELL

International campus staff

I was raised in a performance driven family in the Bible-belt in South Alabama. I thought the best way to get to God was by going to church and being a good person. I got to college and got tired of trying to earn my way to Heaven. I had more questions than I had answers. Everything I was going to for fulfillment let me down and God revealed Himself to me at a Summer Beach Project through Campus Outreach. I heard Isaiah 64:6 for the first time and saw my need for a savior because my self-made righteousness was no good to God. I also heard Ephesians 2:8-9, understood grace for the first time, and God changed my heart.
