My Testimony:

I grew up in church and accepted Christ at age 7. My dad was a minister. From the outside, my life looked good, so when I acted out, people judged me. No one knew what happened behind closed doors. My brothers molested me for years and threatened to hurt me if I told. I feared telling my parents.

My Testimony:

I was lost and bound in the things of this world. I was involved in gangs, sold and used drugs, went to jail, and eventually prison. I always blamed the people around me for the things that were happening in my life. I even blamed this town!

My Testimony:

Today I have hope because I have a personal relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Before turning my life over to the Lord, I was living life hopelessly enthralled with negativity and defeat.

My Testimony:

I lost my father at age five and my mom, grandma, and great grandma raised me. It was and still is very difficult not having my father around. Thankfully, I was raised going to church. That has been my rock through good and bad times.

My Testimony:

I grew up in the Valley and moved to Madera in 1988.  My childhood memories are of a very loving family with hardworking parents.  We grew up very close and remain so to this day.
