Ariana Zarate Since I was a little girl I have been coming to this church. When your young you never think about how important a place or people can be to you. The older I got the more I broke out my shell and throughout my life I have faced battles that at a young age and being grown now are battles I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. Battles that made me feel like I was at war with myself, the devil himself, making me feel as though there was no purpose for me anymore. Yet there was one place that reminded me of who I am and has been a home for me where I can be a better me; NCT. My Pastors always are there to be a personal ear for me to hear me out and give me Godly advice and allowing me to believe that who I am is not justified by my past or by my trauma, but justified by the Faith I carry with God. This place saved me from the darkest places; saved me from walking away from life itself. How? They reminded me that I am loved, I am known, and that the Kingdom needs me just as much. I have a family here and I wouldn’t want to find any other new family. I love my home and this church will always be a home to a new heart that walks through those doors. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your path straight.”
