Inspiring Stories

"My recreational drug use had turned into a full-blown addiction. It was only through the support of Redemption Christian Ministries that I was able to kick the habit and get my life back. Their non-judgmental approach really made all the difference. Thank you!"

"After losing my job I thought I would never be able to keep going. It hurt my pride and my self-confidence, I was about to give up. Redemption Christian Ministries's economic assistance helped me find temporary resources to meet my monthly bills. They were also instrumental in finding employment agencies. I am now working again, thanks to Redemption Christian Ministries."

During my mother’s transition you, RCM, bolstered me and covered me. When my faith in Mommy’s divine healing was at peak I was furthered emboldened by your joining of faith. When my faith faltered and fear became a living being in my chest, I was soothed by the ‘arms of RCM’.   And when her death was a reality, so many of you found your own ways to comfort: A visit, food, calls, hugs, reminisces of your own parents. The day after Mommy’s transition, the sister who understands me best brought her chunky grandbaby, wordlessly placed her in my arms and sat quietly while I hugged and cuddled her softness. I am grateful for the womb you created and the haven you all represent. During these months of recovery and the slow process of absorbing the loss of my parents, you have allowed me my moments. When tears well uncontrollably and grief overtakes me you turn discreetly away, giving me time to regroup or rub my back and offer a shoulder to lean on. When I begin a rambling story of my childhood you smile indulgently and listen. You all have been what God called you to be, a buffer against the hurts of this world. I thank you for what you did for my mother while she lived and for me after her passing. I won’t forget and I look for ways to reciprocate your care. God bless.
