Tere I was ar away rom home a college looking a aposiive pregnancy es. I had lef my parying liesyle elevenmonhs earlier when I had rededicaed my lie o Jesus Chris.Bu only hree monhs earlier I had ell in love.

My lie was over. My unbeliever boyriends response was

o erminae he pregnancy. In all aspecs i seemed he easiesescape roue. We explored adopion and in he end decidedo keep our baby. When he baby was born, God bashed openmy boyriends hear. Insanly, he was sruck by a love he hadnever known and an overwhelming awareness ha here wassomehing so much bigger going on in lie.

Te baby was nine monhs old, and under a heavyburden o Holy Spiri convicion, I decided I couldn be

physically inimae wih my boyriend anymore. Te nexSunday he received Jesus Chris as His Lord and Savior a achurch we had been semi-regularly atending. Te ollowingweek he proposed o me. Tree monhs laer we were married.

Alhough he was now a believer, here wasn much, or anyor ha mater, rui in His lie. He slowed down a bi wih his

parying and exracurricular aciviies, bu absen were hedaily Bible sudies, prayer imes, and deep heological conver-saions I had anasized abou beore he came o Chris.

ired o driving ar or church, alone I visied Good Newswhere my wonderul mom had been atending or years.Smileys messages were so differen han wha we had heardbeore. Te gospel was so beauiul. My husband sared comingoo, and shorly we chose o make Good News our church home.

I dragged my relucan husband o small group. Since iwas only one block away, he had no excuse, bu he sure didinven some excellen ones or a while. However, he sinceriy,humiliy, and ransparency atraced him so srongly ha hebegan coming every week. Tey were disciple-making, and awe eamed up wih hem, we were learning more abou Jesus

Ulimaely, we were ollowing Him as a amily. Wih all o hisprevious parying wih his pals, he had never really experienca rue riendship.

Fas orward a bi o when we sared our own small groupIn one o hose early meeings, I looked around a he six orseven women in ha room and realized we had all goten

pregnan beore we were married. We knew ull well we hadall aced ouside o Gods plan or a amily, ye here we were,

sisers in Chris, brohers in Chris all ransormed by Him. Teweigh o grace was heavy in ha room. All o hose amiliesare sill involved in Good News.

Jesus ook wo parying, drug-abusing, sexually immoralpeople and radically ransormed our lives. He used GoodNews Church as His hands and ee o each us, rain us, leadus, love us, and send us ou. Many may look a us now and fini hard o imagine our dark days. Bu, oh, how swee he irresi

ible grace ha has been poured ou on and sauraed ino oulives. Good News Church is so much more han a building haholds a meeing once a week. I is a beacon o ligh calling ouo he communiy, he naions saying, Come, ollow Jesus andknow His love, and ogeher we will become fishers o men.God is so good!
