  Children Overcoming Obstacles Special Needs

  HIS JOURNEY, OUR FAITH

  Motherhood was something I always desired. I was blessed with my first child before receiving the devastating news that it would be hard to conceive again. I lost my faith in this moment of heartbreak. I grew up in a Christian home. I was always the one to stand up for those who couldn’t. God was calling me to help children with disabilities. However, I was rebellious, and therefore, when I was told I wouldn’t have any more children, I turned away from God. Years passed, and I matured. God shared with me to go back to church. I needed to raise… Read More

  Children Overcoming Obstacles

  MY TEENAGE JOURNEY TO JESUS

  When I was a kid, I always felt like something was missing in my life. I grew up in a Christian household, believed in God, and knew about Jesus, but I was unsure about my future. Things were tough—I was homeschooled and didn’t have any friends growing up. At just 9 years old, I fell into depression. At 13, I attended a youth group for the first time, thinking it would end my loneliness. I was happy to go, but I was more focused on making friends than the service. Sadly, I ended up being bullied and even had someone try… Read More

  SUE’S KIDS

  For 25 years, my mom was a school cook in an elementary school, where all the children called her by her first name, “Sue.” She loved them, and they loved her in return for her hugs, friendly teasing and good food. Her school kitchen was known for the special treats she whipped up, especially her famous homemade peanut butter bars that are still talked about today. She would see to it that all the students received plenty of food on their plates, with extras and seconds given to the ones who looked hungrier. Years later, when she was drawing close to death… Read More

  KETURAH’S HAVEN

  My story started in Jamaica when I was 17. I left home because I disliked my parents’ strict rules. When I left to live with my brother, I found myself in a situation that was not conducive to a young girl. After four weeks, he tried to return me to my parents. Halfway there, I decided I was old enough and responsible enough to find a job without having a place to live. A man near my father’s age offered me a big job. I thought he would protect me, but he took me into his home, and I lost my innocence. He… Read More

  Children Mentoring Verbalizing the Gospel

  UNKNOWINGLY PLANTING SEEDS

  My life has been a journey of mundane moments, mountaintops, valleys, and soaring times, all shaped by my hope in the Lord. I recall my youth, weary and stumbling, but also how God continually renewed my strength. His loving guidance, like a constant presence over me, has been my anchor (Psalm 32:8). Even in the mundane, I’ve witnessed His hand, especially during my high school years. In the 1980s, my days were filled with music, Bible quizzing, art, and babysitting—seemingly ordinary, but deeply significant. I was passionate about studying Scripture for Bible quizzing, memorizing verses from the New Testament, and reciting… Read More

  MY CALLING BECAME CLEAR

  Frustration filled my heart. I was already in my second year at the University and still didn’t know what I wanted to study. I had tried accounting, but knew that working with numbers would never fulfill me. I wanted to do something to help children in need. Specifically, kids like me. My younger siblings and I had grown up in Costa Rica. Because of abuse and neglect, we’d be put under the protection of child services. Then, when our birth mother had showed a bit of improvement, we'd be sent back to live with her. This cycle happened several times before… Read More
