Jen has experienced many ups and downs, but the biggest challenge was a few years ago. Looking back, Jen realizes that God prepared her to walk through that challenge and used it to grow her and her family’s faith.

Ezela always went to church as a child because it was the right thing to do, but she didn’t have a relationship with Jesus.  She knew she was sinning.  She consumed, partied, and didn’t respect herself.  All of her decisions culminated when she got engaged in her 20s to someone who became her abuser.  She ultimately lost all of her self-worth.  It was after she left that relationship that she met her husband, Peter.

Peter was raised in the Roman Catholic faith and went through all of the sacraments.  When he grew older, he realized something was missing.  He drifted away from church and felt the void in his life.  His marriage and family relationships were in a dark place.  He couldn’t get away from the feelings of doubt, resentment, and anger.

Before Christ, Henry’s life was consumed with a lot of fear and social anxiety. He was born with a birth defect. Doctors operated and accidentally caused more damage to his vocal chord, causing his voice to sound a lot different. From that point on, Henry would have anxiety when interacting with people because he was embarrassed by the way his voice sounded.
