“This opportunity to connect with people in need and share Christ’s love has been a huge encouragement. It’s important to me to live out my Christian life daily. Because of the UGM Student Impact Team, I found a great way to do that.” -Abel, Student Impact Team Volunteer
“I lost both my parents by the time I was 11, and I went through a lot of abuse in the home that I was placed in after. So then, I just quit going home and I turned to drugs. And I thought that I had found freedom in that. Eventually, I found that the more I used, the more problems it created and the more it seemed to completely kill my soul. I didn’t know freedom until I really got to know God.”-Larisa, Women’s Recovery at the Center
“I didn’t ever focus on being emotionally free which I think is what I am becoming now – able to walk through my emotions and process them. I feel that that’s real freedom and it’s good to feel that way.” –Rachel, Women’s Recovery at Anna Ogden Hall
