Sometimes, simple words can reach a special place in our hearts. As heart-wrenching as it must often be for the staff and volunteers of All God’s Children, the stories of success, gratitude and change are equally as heart warming.

What follows are testimonials from former All God’s Children residents.  It’s evident from the words of these young women that the love and guidance they received during their time at AGC made a profound impact on their lives.  It can’t be said any better than their unedited testimony:

” I miss you all so much. I miss having talks with you. You were always there when I needed to talk. I miss your advice. I guess it would have helped a lot more if I had listened more than I did. I know that I didn’t always treat you with the respect that I should have. I just wanted to let you know I’m very sorry for all the wrong things I did while I was at AGC. It was hard for me to know how to act because I never really had anyone that cared and loved me as much as you did. You were like a mother and father I never had. I just wanted to let you know that I now understand that everything you did and said was because you loved me and you did not want to see me get hurt.” Amanda

“You have been exactly what me and my child has needed. You accepted me when my own family was ashamed of me. You led me to Christ and helped me to believe. You have made a big difference in my life. And even though my father can’t be with me, I’m proud to say that you are. Thanks for being there and caring so much.”  Lori

“Thank you for taking me in when I needed a good and safe place for me and my baby to stay. If you don’t mind, I would like for you to be my baby’s grandparents.” Heather

“Thank you for talking to me when I have problems. Thanks also for taking care of me and for being a mother I never had. You are the mom I always wanted, for somebody to love me for me. You’re the best mom.”  April

“Thank you for all you’ve done for me when I came. I didn’t know what direction I was going and you helped me see the light to what I need to do.” Brook

“I think you were a blessing from God to lead me to Him and it worked.  You gave me and my baby a chance to a brighter future. You are the mom I always wanted. I love my mom but she never showed me love like you did.”  Sandra

“I often wonder where I would be without AGC. I would not be a Christian and I might not have my daughter. But I did meet you and because of you, I can look forward to tomorrow and the days ahead.  My real mom and dad don’t want me anymore, but you do and that gives me the best feeling in the world. I want you to know that because of you I am going to heaven when I die and that I now have a mom and dad that love me for who I am.” Angela
