Darla Easter

"SHINE is a program that gives my girl her own community and a sense of belonging. She is finding that she has purpose in her life and that she can do hard things and be proud of her work when she's done. She lights up on Thursday evenings when she tells me about her day. She remembers the Bible lesson she learned that day and that used to be hard for her, remembering details like that. We have been on multiple waiting lists for years for her to be involved in any type of program and I see now that God had us waiting for SHINE to be developed. A faith based program, right here in our town, God is so good and his timing is perfect."

"SHINE is a blessing to me. When I come over to help with Physical Fitness time, I hear the end of worship time, I hear everyone praising the Lord by learning memory verses. I will come in and someone is reciting the verse alone. They also show me the project they are working on. They are so proud. During exercise time I see people growing stronger and having fun as they move. SHINE is a great place to work and honor Jesus."
