Change Process: (self-reported)

We desire to be a hands up, not hands out ministry. Many are simply more hopeful and encoraged. Those that seek prayer and counseling feel better because they no someone cares, many choose to give their life to Christ and most no they have to make certain changes to get their life on track and be the best so they can give the best to their families.
