Scharla and Michelle came to the Harvest Crusade together with a few others from a local sober living home in Orange County and found themselves on the field at the end of the night. Both of these women have been numbing the pain of past abuse with heavy drug usage.
Scharla grew up never going to church. She considered herself an atheist, but recognized later that she was more of agnostic and didn’t give much thought as to whether or not there was a God. She became addicted to heroin and meth. She recently heard a message by Ryan Reese, which is what began her journey to sobriety. Today she’s 95 days sober.
Michelle was born and raised Catholic, but never understood, or cared, much about Jesus’ great love. She was addicted to meth for six years but is now 6 months clean and met Scharla in the sober living home.
They consider themselves best friends now, and know that it was God that drew them together. The Holy Spirit led them down to the field as Pastor Greg gave the invitation and they said their hearts have been changed forever as well as their eternal destiny.
 I trust these beautiful women are going to do great things for God someday. He is a redeemer of souls, a redeemer of lives; One who works all things together for His good and makes all things new in the heart and life of His newly adopted daughters, Scharla and Michelle.
