Testimony

My story-Henry

We spend a lot of our lives trying to figure out who we are and why we are here; we want to know what difference we can make in the world. This journey is unique for each one of us and is influenced by how we understand and experience the creator God, who we have walking alongside us and speaking into our lives, and how raising the community invites and empowers us. raising the community that I have been a part of has affirmed and encouraged me in this journey of my life I have had opportunities through formal education, personal mentoring and life experiences to understand more of who I am.
