“A dear friend of mine took life renewal last year and I couldn’t help but notice how happy she was. I wanted that in my life. I also felt that, even though I said I was a Christian and could check off all my boxes, I never truly felt close to God. Life Renewal seemed like a good place to start. Little did I know it would turn my whole world upside down. I was allowed to feel sad for the things done to me but I did not have to live in bitterness because of it. I can now say: ‘Holy spirit come abide within, may YOUR joy be seen in all I do’.” – Participant
