The story of our founder - Heather Vann
I started using drugs at 13 years old. First, it was smoking weed, then it moved into drinking almost daily. Then, at 17, I started taking pills. I got cancer at 21 and then was prescribed pain pills, and then one day, they just weren’t enough anymore, so I started using heroin. At 33 years old, I was sitting on a couch doing a shot of heroin and I felt a presence around me. I looked up and I said I need this. I didn’t know who I was talking to in that moment. But I knew something was in that room with me. A small still voice said to me, “If you would come and serve Me and stop serving man I will set you free from all of your addictions and all of your obsessions.” I struggled with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts for years. I tried dying, I just couldn’t die. I was homeless and hopeless and lost everyone and everything in my life. I was on a ventilator two times, and on several other occasions, I know I overdosed. I just never knew why I woke up.
BUT GOD!!! …OH, BUT I SAY !
BUT GOD!
BUT GOD! So I decided to live I allowed God to move in me and transform me.
I allowed God to move in me and transform me.To change everything in my life was the scariest decision I had ever made. But I stepped out in faith, and it worked. I’m forever grateful for what God has done, and I will forever tell about the life of Jesus through every breath I take. If you’re out there and you feel like there is no hope. Or you feel like you can’t go on. Then just call on the name above all names. THE NAME THAT HOLDS ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY. 
THE NAME OF JESUS. HE WILL COME INTO YOU. HEAL YOU AND SET YOU FREE AND WHO THE SON SETS FREE IS FREE IN DEED.
