Life Change Stories

Before Maria came to Christ, she was desperate for love.  Without a father figure in her life, she was looking for love in all the wrong places.  At the age of 17, she found herself in a bad relationship.  At 18, she was pregnant and gave birth to her daughter.  The father of her baby left her shortly after.  He took everything with him and told Maria she’d never be anything without him.  Her world was shattered, and she was alone.
