Without my Stephen Minister I would not be where I am today. Some time ago I was in a miserable situation and needed to make decisions about my future and that of my family. I felt that any decision I made would be wrong in God’s eyes. With the support of my Stephen Minister I realized that God loved me and I found the courage to make critical decisions and move on. Life is still stressful but now several years later I have a supportive husband and safe and loving home for my children and I don’t feel alone and tormented."
