Meet Colson Wabshaw

Hi; my name is Colson. I grew up in a Christian home; my family went to church every Sunday, and I learned about God from an early age. When I was about 6 years old, I prayed to receive Christ in my life. Though I may not have fully understood what a ginormous decision that was at such a young age, I know God was at work within me. I really started to understand and grow in my faith during my eighth grade year.

At this time I had started playing in the worship band for the Junior High youth and I think that is where God really started to work in me and preparing me for the future. God showed me a lot about what it takes to be a leader. And that’s when I really started to believe and grow in my faith in Jesus. All through high school God was working in me.

He also gave me the opportunity to go to the Czech Republic with the high school youth from 10th grade through my senior year. It taught me a lot during those trips - trust, faith, and patience were three main areas where God helped me grow. I’m looking forward to returning to Czech to reconnect with old friends and help connect with more people both here and over there. I love the Kostel community!

FUN FACTS: Ke$ha is cool. Music is my passion. I’m lead guitarist in a local Minneapolis band. Bad drivers annoy me.
