For 37 Years, I Thought My Church Made Me a Christian. It Didn't.
Published on September 24, 2026
Raymond Burkholder was raised in a conservative Mennonite home and church. At 37, Raymond realized he was only going through the motions and had never actually become a real Christian. In this interview, Raymond tells his story of coming to Christ, how that transformed his life, and how God called him to serve in missions for the next four decades.
