A CVC Life Change Story ...
Dear Pastor John,
I needed to write you this email this morning because I am so in awe of what has happened in our lives. As I told you at one time George and I were splitting up. Anyway, we had been somewhat talking but not getting anywhere for the last couple of weeks. So I guess one thing you need to know is that we are both alcoholics, addicted, etc. Another thing you should know is that many years ago I did ask Jesus into my life. Granted I have not been a good example, have backslid continuously ...
I guess you could have called me a roller-coaster Christian... [more]

WE WANT YOUR STORY! Click here to share your story with us.
