  MY RELENTLESS JOURNEY WITH GOD

  As the youngest of eight, raised modest in the Kentucky hills, we knew hard work and Scripture. When God called me into ministry, family questioned this calling due to it not being how they believed. By then, I had three children: one who loved breaking the law, one who struggled with simple tasks, and one who grew up in the shadows of sirens and special needs. Motherhood became a pulpit, educating me to trust God in storms and under the eyes of judgement, tasks I sometimes doubted I’d endure. I have felt the eyes of a legion of folks, stares of… Read More

  Loss Of Loved One Special Needs

  GOD NEVER LEFT ME

  My story’s unique as I have already gone to be with the Lord. My parents are believers, bringing me up since day one in the church. As a young boy, I was diagnosed with autism and later in life, bipolar disorder. School never came easy and my parents were strong advocates for my education. In my early teens, my father and I attended a youth retreat with our youth group. To see so many young people spend the weekend together worshipping our Lord was a true wonder. During the retreat, the speaker held an altar call, stating that God had the power to… Read More

  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

  MY SHATTERED NFL DREAMS

  My name is Kareem McNeal, and I was once in a situation where it looked like I would have a promising career with the NFL. A sudden accident changed everything, in an instant. I could easily have blamed God for losing my opportunity, but I did not. My faith was stronger than what happened, and I continued to trust in God.  I am from Tuskegee and went to high school in Montgomery at Alabama Christian Academy. Originally, I did not have a desire to play football, but the football coach asked me to try out for the… Read More

  NEVER GIVING UP

  In September 2017, my daughter, Jennifer, had just dropped off her three boys at school and was driving to work. Her car veered off the road and went straight into a pole. Her heart stopped. Paramedics tried to revive her three times. Usually after that many attempts, they quit. But they tried once more, and were successful in reviving her. She was rushed to a hospital where doctors tried to keep her alive. In addition to all her severe injuries, the doctors determined she had suffered some brain damage from a lack of oxygen, so they put her into an induced… Read More

  SAYING YES TO GOD’S CALLING

  One day, I had a conversation with my husband’s sister where she described a recent dream. She saw my husband holding a dark-skinned little girl and calling him Daddy. This really moved me. A couple of days later, I was scrolling on YouTube, and saw a video of two little boys from the Philippines singing a beautiful worship song together. Once again, I became emotional, and God gave me a vision. He put it on my heart that there was a little girl with chunky cheeks and big brown eyes who needed us. He told me we needed to bring her… Read More
