Christina Tells Her Story
My name is Christina and today I can smile. A few years ago, I couldn't say that. I was a girl living without laughter, without hope, without a chance. Growing up in a broken home, my dad wasn't around as much as I would have liked. I started replacing that need for him with boyfriends. At 15 years old, I found myself in an abusive relationship and at 18 years old, I was pregnant. I was too ashamed to tell anyone, so I called the clinic, made an appointment, and had an abortion all by myself. I hid the pain of it deep in my heart, not dealing with it, and eventually masking it with drugs and relationships.
I became a heroine addict, and pregnant again. I thought that if I chose to have this baby it would make everything better. After I had her, I lost custody of her and wound up pregnant again. I felt I had no other option but to have another abortion. I was lost and alone. I thought there was no hope for me. At the point of suicide, I chose to pick up the phone instead of a knife. I was admitted into a program where I learned about forgiveness for others and especially myself. Today I can smile, not only because I have my daughter back, but because I have myself back as well.

What is Freedom Village USA?
Our phones ring day and night at Freedom Village USA with calls from countless thousands of North American teenagers and parents who are hurting and begging for help.
This world is foreign to those of us who are considered the 'older generation' . Today, God is presented as evil, and evil is purported to be good. God has been eradicated from much of the daily world that confronts the millennial child. This confusion, lack of moral standard and the erosion of the traditional
family often results in volatile home situations.

Hosea 4:6 warns that when we forget, and turn from the laws of God, our children will pay the price! When you remove GOD from 'good', all you have left is a big 0 (zero)! If we are not "One nation under God, then we are 'one nation under' and the victims have been, and will continue to be, our children.
Throughout over forty years of ministry, young people have been my life. Since Freedom Village USA opened in 1981, we have watched the power of Jesus Christ transform the lives of countless thousands of young people. The "hopeless" and "un-helpable" find HOPE and HELP from the One person who has the ultimate answer for their lives ... Jesus Christ
Freedom Village USA was founded upon the 'Word of God', in obedience to the ' call of God' . We make no apology for believing the Bible from cover to cover. It is the light, the standard, the rule and guide for this entire ministry and all its outreaches. I have never looked back over my shoulder to see if we were on the right road. I needed to only look into the faces of the miracles that surrounded me daily. Today, the 'fruit' continues to speak for itself. We do not have 'an' answer, but 'the' answer. ... Jesus Christ.
Call or write today.
Be a part of the next miracle!
