The best way to describe being involved in PVC Young Adults as a leader and just in general for me is “AN ABSOLUTE BLESSING.” Being raised in a religious home, I was always deeply rooted in my faith. I started attending Palm Valley when I was a teenager, but I didn’t hang around with other Christians my age, outside of family. Going into my adult years, I had a season of grief and was unconsciously in a depression. It was keeping a hold on me, and I was quietly stumbling away from God until I went to Young Adults. My relationships with individuals are growing, I have gained lifetime friends through it, and I have an uplifting community in addition to those I can call family. Ones I can learn scripture with, support each other through difficulties, and much more through Christ at the center. My growth through my journey has allowed me to share knowledge and help strengthen those in their faith. I’m not sure where I would be without Jesus. I thank the Young Adult ministry for letting me see the goodness and light of God.

I came to the US from a different continent, and while I was searching for a community of believers within my age range, God led me to PVC YA, which has become my family. I have built meaningful relationships that will last a lifetime. Through YA, I have grown and become a more mature Christian and I have learned many valuable life lessons. I am eager to witness what God has in store for PVC, particularly for YA, and I am praying for a revival to come through this amazing community.
