RAMOS FAMILY CELEBRATION

Sunday night was a very very special night as we heard the testimony of one we have been praying for for over a year. Paul Ramos shared what God has done in his life in helping him overcome a life threatning addiction that almost took his life one year ago. Paul acknowledged all who have been there for him during this challenging time. Paul share the pain and suffering that we went through but also acknowledged the pain and suffering he had put many of his family and friends through and they never gave up on him. After Paul spoke, his mother and father came forward to speak to the church and share from their heart through tears what the last few years have been like with Paul's addiction. Thanking the church and the Teen Challenge Organization, Paul and his parents acknowledge the power of God in helping all of them through this time. The evening closed with Pauls sister and brother in law speaking of the pain of the past and the damage that the addiction does to a family.
The Ramos family brought hope to some parents in the audience that are struggling with children that are addicted. What a wonderful evening. Thank you Paul and thank you God for what you have done in his life.
