A Life-Changing Encounter with Jesus

Patricia, what led you to the moment when you knew, without a doubt, that God was real and that He loved you?

“Oh, Jesus happened! My life was a mess in my early 20s. I was lost, making destructive choices that hurt both myself and others. Guilt, shame, and condemnation consumed me. I didn’t need anyone to tell me I was a sinner—I already knew. I just didn’t know how to change.”

“I see people today being judged, especially those on the streets, and it breaks my heart. They already know their struggles; they don’t need condemnation. I knew who I was—I just didn’t know how to be anything different. Then, through a life-threatening experience, everything changed.”
