Hi, my name is Dora and I have been going to VBF for 8 yrs now. I was invited to come to this church after this relationship I was in had ended and I was heartbroken and needing to find some peace. I had always wanted to go to church but because of this relationship I didn't do it. Me and my children had visited other churches but none stuck like VBF. I was introduced to this church by a lady that went to VBF and she invited me to go to one of the women's bible studies that they had, back then it was on Tuesday mornings. When I went I felt welcomed and loved. The women were wonderful and glowed with love and peace. I then went on to one of the services and when I heard Pastor Ron, that was it for me, I was home. Well, ever since then I have been here at VBF and have made many wonderful and beautiful friends. I still have my ups and downs but more ups now then downs. I have tended to try many times to do things on my own, the way I think they should be done. But with the help of some really anointed friends and the preaching/teachings of the pastors at this church, I get set back on the right path. I am, as we all are, a work in progress. I still have some issues to be worked out but God has really helped me thru my pornography, my abortion issues, being molested when I was younger, and the abandonment of my father. God has proven to me that he is faithful even when I have not been. God has blessed me with a beautiful family that consists of my son Ralph, his wife Vanessa and 3 grandchildren, one more on the way. My grandkids are Alexis, 5yrs, Isaiah, 3 yrs, Andrew, 2 yrs old and baby Mya on the way in June. They are the pride of my life, they bring me so much joy. My son and his family, the grandkids are all his, are saved but my beautiful daughter Josephina is not. I tell her not yet at least, but God is in control of that situation and it is just a matter of time. |
