Personal Testimonies

I had been suffering for a long time, and in my opinion, had hit rock bottom. My life was such a mess. I didn’t know what to do to make it better, so I prayed really hard to find the answer. I had decided that I had to get better, and I had to start right then, or I wasn’t ever going to get better. I had been ‘paralyzed’ in my bed with emotional pain. I prayed and asked God what it was. What was causing me such pain that I couldn’t function? Why did I want to die? I realized my life went downhill after having an abortion. I didn’t notice it while it was happening, but in reflection it was all so clear.

I did an internet search on ‘healing for abortion, nj’ and Rachel’s Vineyard caught my eye. That is when I emailed you and requested information. My Husband and I were going through financial troubles. I couldn’t work because of my depression, and he had just had back surgery. We just didn’t have the money to even reserve a spot. That is when you contacted my again asking if we were coming.

Thank you so much for reaching out and inviting us to come again. If you had not done that, I would not have made it. Our experience was definitely life changing. I went to that retreat with so much doubt that anything could help. My husband did not even believe in God when we walked through those doors. There are no words to even tell you how wonderful that weekend was. All I can do is tell you what my life is like now…

We are now moving on. We are buying the house that I grew up in. I am home schooling our daughter and making plans for the future. It is great to be back and be happy. I think this is a miraculous change compared to less than a year ago.

Thank you again for your help and support. If there is anything I can ever do to support Rachel’s Vineyard, please let me know.
