Testimonies

I have a deep love and gratitude for the women at SonRays Ministries. If it was not for the unconditional love and compassion I received, I am not sure what my life would be. Before my time spent with the ministry, I did not believe God loved me because I had made so many poor choices. On the outside, I would smile and laugh to get through the day, but inside I was not expecting anything good to happen to me because I did not feel I deserved it. I would go through the motions and show up to church, but I was empty on the inside.

I had heard about SonRays and seen their flyers all over church many times, but I did not think anything could help me, so I did not pay much attention. Proverbs teaches that God determines our steps. No matter how far I ran, my past ultimately caught up to me, and the spiritual weight became overwhelming. I remember lying in bed, crying and begging God to please still love me, even though I did unspeakable things to myself and others. I had done many things that I was not proud of, and the shame and guilt were getting to be more than I could bear on my own. God sent me to SonRays so that I did not have to.

The ministry helped me see the negative emotions and the self-degradation was not from God. I had encountered the physical challenges from my past decisions and not punishments from God, which I had believed in for so many years. I was shown that God still loved me, and nothing I could do would change that. The lessons I have learned have helped me grow spiritually and emotionally. I had many opportunities to witness what a godly woman was in real life, and it’s because of this ministry. The women I met at SonRays have blessed me more than I can ever communicate. Because of my gratitude, I use what I learned to encourage others.

“My Bible studies at SonRays are helping me grow in my faith.”

“We believe strongly in your work to save babies and prevent abortions… here’s another gift in support of your excellent humanitarian and spiritual work.”

“We met on weekends, perfect for my schedule..”

I am a pretty shy person, so when I went I was a little nervous but all the women were so welcoming and made me feel at ease/ It’s been wonderful meeting with moms who have similar stories…

“My life has changed a lot since starting your group. Each year we grow stronger and closer to God. Thankful for you guys for always being available to talk to me on the phone and pray with me also. Thanks for being you. Love you guys.”

“I’m thankful God to lead me to experience Him through your ministry.” “The Lord comforted and helped me through you.”

“By God’ design, I was placed in my mother’s womb. By God’s plan, and through much love and prayer, my birth mother chose to place me securely in Christian adoption. This gave me a potential future with caring, Godly parents.”

“..through a series of “no one but God could have orchestrated this” events, my mother became a resident at the Faith Home for Seniors.”
