Little did I know before attending The Rescue Project, I was the one who needed rescuing.

I grew up in a little Illinois prairie town of 600 people where there were four churches, including Methodist, Nazarene, United Brethren, but not Catholic. In fact, I’d never even heard the word Catholic. I started singing in the 4th grade. I had a talent for singing harmony in duets. The mother of a family I babysat for heard me singing and told my father that I should have voice lessons. I started these formal voice lessons when I was 15. My music teacher recommended a song book, which I bought. At home, I would play the songs on the piano and try to learn them. One song in the book, Ave Maria, said something to me, but I didn’t know where it was leading me!

Today’s my birthday. I’ve been so sad about my birthday because I miss my mom who recently died. I was getting in my car and the first song that came on was “His Daughter” by Molly Kate Kestner.

For more than 20 years, the most powerful, life-changing encounters I’ve had with Jesus...

I had never been to adoration before and didn’t even really know what it was. I knew it had something to do with the Eucharist.

I wish I had spent more time with God when I was younger. I am sure I could have found an hour once a week to talk and listen to Him.

I was 8 years old; it was 2 am. Why was there almost no one in the Church? Where were they? [Click on the title to read the full story.]

I had seen one of the best doctors at UM who was waiting for me to schedule a surgery date.

A family member was desperately in need of help, so I approached our parish Prayer Ministry Team.
