Andy Malcom, how is your DNA going?

For me personally, DNA has been without doubt the hardest, most tiring, challenging, intense, rewarding and simply brilliant year of my short life!

People said to me before I joined that "it will be the hardest but best year of your life", and it certainly hasn’t fallen short of my expectations!

I think DNA is for all those who think they know everything about Christianity, to come and learn everything about Christianity! This is certainly the category I would fall into! Having been brought up in the church, I thought I knew all there was to know about church, God and our faith, how wrong I have been!

DNA is also a chance to make such awesome friendships and connections with people all over the country, and beyond, which will last for a lifetime! It has been brilliant to be placed with Eliane, from Switzerland, as I have learned so much from her and their different culture and ideas. Awesome!

Through it all though, the bottom line is it’s a chance to inspire people into turning this nation back to the One to whom it belongs! My eyes have been so opened to Who my Jesus is, and what it actually means to be a Christian, it is simply amazing.

To have people so sold out for your walk of faith for the year, you can’t help but be touched, challenged and changed!
