WHAT IF...
"I dream of a community that is sensitive to all its members needs. One in which the working class can own a home and raise their families in harmony with the retired and affluent members of our society. A community in which every person has the opportunity to know Christ and Christian values are encouraged and openly taught. A community that honors
Jesus Christ."


Giving Hope is Changing Lives

"I have a problem with resentment and anger and I didn't want to admit it. I said 'so I lose my temper sometimes - I make mistakes - EVERYBODY DOES.' But I kept finding myself having problems in relationships - in my marriage and at work.

Then my life changed. I found CVC. I accepted Christ. I started attending STEP, and I realized I had to stop waiting for everybody else to change - it was I who needed to change. Now I am learning to accept the things I can't change and to depend totally on Jesus to help me change the things I can."
"To most, it appeared I had everything ... 'a good job' ... a loving family ... caring friends. In reality, I was paralyzed by pain and depression. I didn't sleep or eat right.

Then my life changed. I finally turned my heart toward God, and He was there to help me. I began to value life because I wanted mine to count for something lasting. God transformed me from my state of secret depression to peace and renewed joy found only by depending completely on Him.

I learned that God sometimes has to completely break us of ourselves for us to see our desperate need for Him.

I thank God for His patience. Even though I ignored Him for years, He never gave up on me. He gave me hope and I want to give His hope to others."
"I grew up with one parent who wanted nothing to do with God, and the other faithful to the Catholic church. I attended church, and though I loved God, I didn't know what a personal relationship with God meant. In fact, I was more afraid of God than anything.

As a young adult, I made decisions based on what felt good at the time. I had some successes, but I sure made plenty of bad choices.

Then my life changed. Because of my young daughter, I began reaching out to God again (not really thinking He would hear or answer me). God heard me! I still make LOTS of mistakes, but now I DEPEND on Him and trust His love and grace - and I want to share that HOPE with as many others as possible."
