Denise’s StoryOver 18 years ago I was a baby Christian in a very violent relationship, and I

didn’t know what to do. God was moving on my soul to leave the abuse, so thatmy beautiful daughter would be safe. A lady from my church took me to the

Sheepfold and for the first time in my Christian life I felt very loved andcared for.

My daughter and I stayed in the original house. Miss Inez and MissMandy took such beautiful care of us. After 6 months we moved to

Northern California. I went to college, and I have always told people howwonderful Sheepfold was to us. Today my daughter is 22, healthy, happy,

and on her own. I am single and work in the medical field as a CertifiedNursing Assistant ( CNA).

I love you all so much and am forever thankful. God bless you all!!!

Sincerely,

Denise, Sheepfold Graduate

Preet’s StoryI can not put into words how thankful and amazed I am being here and graduating

from First Step. Before coming here I was living a very unfulfilled life, unhappy and un-peaceful life. I was so unhappy compared to how I am now. All the grace-filled, lovingcare we received from the House Managers was astonishing.

Jesus Christ gave me a new life, with peace in my heart and a happy spirit. I willnever forget the journey that led me to Sheepfold and the wonderful time I spent at thehouse. God bless everybody here at Sheepfold for helping me to become a new person.

I am now looking forward to moving into Second Step, having my own apartmentand moving forward in the plans that God has for me.

Thanks be to God and all you who support the Sheepfold!

Sincerely,

Preet, Sheepfold First Step Graduate

“Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young— a place near your altar,

Oh Lord Almighty, my King and my God. Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you.”
