How Mary Found Hope at 71Five Parents

“When I was eighteen,” Mary said, “a friend and I started playing with tarot cards. A dark force entered my life when I opened that door. Nothing could change the intense fear and evil presence. My boyfriend was not supportive when we found out we were pregnant. He broke up with me, and depression overwhelmed me. I moved into the shelter, and that’s when I started attending 71Five Parents. One night, I tried something new and said the name ‘JESUS’ out loud. This brought me comfort. So every time I had trouble sleeping, I would whisper the name Jesus until I fell asleep. Eventually, I began to believe I could have this baby on my own.”
Scripture says that Jesus is the only name that can save us, including the power to drive out demonic spirits [Acts 4:12 and Mark 16:17].
At 71Five Parents, we gather to eat, share fellowship, receive support, and learn more about Jesus. Some young parents need transportation to 71Five. Is God calling you to partner with us in helping to purchase a highly needed minivan? Please find us at 71Five.org or contact me, breanna@71Five.org. Thank YOU.
