“My life has been blessed exponentially since coming to know more of God. In my life I havetried to get the best of everything I could get my hands on, but somehow it never filled the voidwithin me. It never brought joy or happiness. Somehow, I knew that God was and is looking outfor me and my best interests. Having been brought up in a Spanish/catholic culture, I alwayshad the questions of ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Why does my walk in life bring me a lot of pain andtears?’ These questions created doubts within me. Somehow I would feel love for others but notfor myself. I grew up without my actual birth parents living instead with my grandparents. Thiscreated abandonment and animosity issues within my mind but not in my heart. I knew thiswhen I found out that my parents had died. I still shed tears for both of them even though Iactually never knew them. When God placed me in this ONE Journey walk with others, I finallygot to understand by listening to Jesus’ words through my heart. It has benefited me greatly.What stood out for me most was finding out my core drivers…Walking with God through theONE Journey I have been so blessed. I thank God for this opportunity everyday. The journey isa discovery of John 1:1, ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and theWord was God…’” - Felipe Guzman

“I came to ONE believing I was broken and believing lies I have heard about myself for a longtime. I know now that the only thing broken was my thinking and my ability to believe the lie.ONE has given me the most wonderful gift I believe I have or could ever receive since receivingthe Lord, the ability to hear God. What a joyful blessing. I will treasure and share this with othersto the best of my ability. ONE has taught me what community means and that I DO BELONG!!They loved and accepted me in, with and through all my imperfections. I could truly come as Iam and I found out I am loved. I have always put up a front that I could handle it on my own.ONE and ONEsource taught me that I was never meant to walk this life alone. Today, I’m notwalking alone, I have a family that loves me and accepts me for exactly who I am. They gaveme a place of total safety where I could let go and let God. They gently walked with me throughthe pain of my past to the beautiful future God has for me. I’ve still so far to go and grow buttoday I know I’m not alone. I have a family and community that loves me! 1 Thessalonians5:23-24 describes what I experienced during the ONE Journey - Now may the God of peacemake you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blamelessuntil our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen for He who calls you isfaithful.” - Karen Jones

"In 78 years, 70 of those active in the church, you can't imagine how many discipleship programs I have been through. Year-long men's Bible study, Stephen Ministry, Alpha (17 times), retreats etc, etc, etc. I just finished the one I wish I had done 40 years ago. In the One Journey I received and was able to share more than on all my previous 'experiences.' The teaching, practicing, the presence of Jesus, listening and conversing with Jesus, and sharing across intergenerational, male and female, and socioeconomic levels was a Kingdom experience. Thank you." - Lance Elliott
