I Am Free!
Posted on Monday, August 26, 2013 by
Ariana is a girl who has been involved with Teen Parents for several years. She has come faithfully with her boyfriend and daughter. After years of being in a relationship with Cara, Ariana finally opened up and shared about some major hurts and pains in her past. She had shared some of those difficult things with her family and they wouldn’t believe her.
But, with a loving and caring heart, Cara listened to Ariana’s story and throughout the course of the week was able to show Ariana that the only way she will truly find healing is through Christ. By the end of the week, Ariana welcomed Christ into her life and told Cara, “I am free for the first time”.
Praise God that He heals and Ariana has been set free from a dark past.
YFCamp
This past week 20 students, including Ariana, went to YFCamp at Quaker Ridge in Colorado. Many of these kids made decisions to follow Christ. One evening, after being confronted with the “mess” (sin) that each of us have in our lives, kids were sent out for 30 minutes of “solo time,” during which they were supposed to sit alone and reflect on the Gospel presentation. Sitting under a clear Colorado mountain sky, it was quite an experience to hear Ariana, Jana, Jason, Brian, and dozens more students yell at the top of the lungs “Yes” to Jesus for the first time!!!
