“My experience this Christmas was wonderful.  The reason I say this is because of the renewed hope and restoration that’s happening in my life here at the Mission.  Before coming to  the Mission I felt hopeless, I was living in darkness and it felt like I was carrying the weight of the world on my back everywhere, and it was killing me.  Being separated from God, family and especially my children was a tremendous burden.  Not being in a position to bless my kids with gifts for Christmas was a nightmare.  I remember many days and nights crying tears of hopelessness, and now since being here at the Whosoever Gospel Mission, God has regenerated life in me and blessed me to be reconciled with my family again (praise Him!).  And now, I still cry on many days and nights, but they are tears of joy and God’s love toward me, and my being ever so grateful to Him and this Mission!”
