Gary’s Story: In His Own Words

On Saturday  November 8th, 2008 my world blew apart – literally.   I was carrying a package I thought was a gift when it exploded in my hands. We had recently sold our cozy townhouse and were excited to move into a larger home with a yard for our daughters.  The day started out with a quiet breakfast of tea and cinnamon buns.   We were reflecting... >Full Story

Adopted for a Purpose

I was just three months old when my parents adopted me.

It revolved around three things: our modest home and farmyard, a one-room country school, and a country church three miles away (with a few neighbors in-between). It was a good life. Our family regularly attended that country church,... >Read More



Search for the Meaning of Life

This is the story of a changed life, as told to Power to Change Ministries Why am I here? That question kept revolving in my mind, though I gave no one any indication of these thoughts. Why am I here? What meaning is there to life? Does life have meaning only if I give it meaning, or does someone or... >Read More
