STEPHANIE ALMONTE
Before surrendering to Jesus, I felt empty--as if something was missing. I didn't understand why I felt that way. I have a partner, children, a career, mortgage, all of the things you were told would make a successful life and make you happy. However, I still felt like something was missing. I grew up religious and I believed in God but was never taught the gospel. I didn't know that the answers to any of my troubles could be found in the Word.
I felt a turning point in my life the day my second daughter was born. God told me to go to the hospital. He urged me throughout the entire day. If I had not gone, my daughter would have likely passed from the prolapsed cord. A year later, I was thankful and grateful but suffered from the stress the birth caused. I then experienced some spiritual warfare, started reading the Bible and watching Christians describe the Gospel on social media - God pulled me to him. He was everywhere. I rewatched The Passion of Christ and The Chosen and felt unworthy of his sacrifice but so thankful at the same time. God has moved through my entire family and we have all felt the strong pull - He didn't want to lose us. How can I not Love him?
I feel excited about life now, and excited about the future. I know this life is not the end for us. I have Jesus, my Father, My Friend who knows and loves me more than anyone in this world. Who gave his life for me when I didn't deserve it and never will. I can now confidently explain things to my children and guide them to believe and trust in Jesus as well. My life is fulfilled now.

LORRAINE ARGENIO
I was saved many years ago in the 1970s. My walk wasn't always steady because I backslid. In 2019 I recommitted my life to Jesus. He has saved me from my self. Jesus has healed me from deep pain, resentment, and bitterness. Jesus is my Lord and savior today, tomorrow, and forever into eternity.
I am more peaceful now with Him, and aspire to be more like Jesus as I grow deeper in faith.
