Stories & Testimonies

work that shattered my confidence. At Job Club, we chatted about what I wanted to do rather than just finding the first job possible. I have Aspergers, so I was looking for a workplace that would understand my gifts and the additional support I may need. I visited a workspace with the Job Club manager, thought it was great, and felt at home. I applied for the job with my updated CV, interviewed and got the role! I have now started the new job, and I love it.” —Andrew the ministry time at the end.

“My life was anything but calm. It was chaotic and filled with darkness. I battled with so much anxiety, depression, complex traumas. Although I’ve been a recovering addict for 7 years temptation got the better of me last year and I picked up a drink as things got too much for me in my personal life.

I began watching GS online before attending GS South earlier this year. I’d listen to the talks often feeling like it was about me. The Lord has shown so much to me through this challenging season about his faithfulness, steadfastness, love and promise. Just recently I’ve given up smoking and Jesus is working on my anxiety.

I can honestly say and believe that I’m a child of God who is deeply loved.” — Ashley

“I posted an Instagram story asking if anyone had prayer requests. All the requests came from nonChristians (which was amazing), but I was surprised a request came from someone I worked with! I didn’t know him well and assumed he wouldn’t be interested in God - I was wrong! He was so open to me praying for him and sharing scripture. We had lunch together at work and had great conversations about faith. He expressed some hardships he had been going through and how my simple act of asking if he wanted prayer had brought him so much happiness and joy.” — Shanon
