When I got the email from Tina with all of the information about HEAL, I was so excited. And then immediately very overwhelmed.

I just need to pray and to continue following God's calling for me. I am so grateful to Tina and all of the people at HEAL who have allowed me to become a party of their team. I am looking forward to being able to share the love of Christ with others. I know God has good thing
