Since December 2004, he has been in the U.S. as a college student and volunteer for Camp Tejas as a summer staffer, speaker, and singer. He has an amazing gift for capturing the hearts of his audience. TESTIMONY Rodgers grew up in a very large family. They were idol worshippers for many generations. As a young child, God led Rodgers to a local church where he trusted in Jesus as his Savior. For many years, he attended church without his family’s support or approval.
