Zac's Place has personally helped me to find my way, my faith and my belief and through
Sean's ministry was able to find peace and also able to move on from the past.
Almost 3 months ago I started to come along to Vitalise every Sunday night and as cliché
as it may be it has literally changed my life. The people I've met have become lifelong friends
already.
Had a heart attack at the age of 20 induced by an overdose and then shortly after that
I started taking ***. I got to the stage where I really feel that God brought me to
such a level where I had no option but to cry out to him and ask for his forgiveness
and being with Paul and Elaine and the rest of the people on the project, they actually
helped me through my withdrawals when I decided to come off methadone. They prayed me through
it and I do know for a fact that it was nowhere near as bad as what it should have been. That
was the power of God working in my life to help me through that struggle.
They've shown me for the first time in my life a lot of love and to look for love in
God, which I have, which I never did before. It's a lot of bad experience I've had but
I've never been happier in 20 years and I'm actually happy now.
What I found going to churches when I was younger with my mum was that it was sort of
left to you -- I'll tell you a bit about God and you have to go sort yourself out, but
here it's sort of acknowledged that you are human and you do need help and we don't have
all the answers but we're going to help you as much as we can -- we're going to support
you as much as we can. I've discovered gifts that I didn't think that I had -- leading
worship and stuff like that -- it's about my confidence as well because growing up I
didn't really have much of that.
Well I used to be a violent man -- you can't change yourself only God can do it. He's given
me a love for other people that I wouldn't have had love for before.
At Sunday Sanctuary for our breakfast we have croissants, chocolate croissants...
We come down here on Sunday morning and we have a little breakfast with Mark and then
we do little activities and make things and then we get in a circle to do stories.
... fruit, toast...
I enjoy it because I get to play with my brother and sisters and we get to make things and
it is fun.
...smoothies, orange juice...
I think the best thing at the Sunday Sanctuary is the making activity because last week we
made a kaleidoscope.
...it's a really good breakfast.
