Mona is from Welcome Inn Community Centre (www.welcomeinn.ca) and Little Bethel Church (www.littlebethel.ca). She'll speak on the topic "I will Never Leave You," a testimony of God's Love in adversity. As Mona shares her life story we'll hear themes of Gods grace and presence interwoven through the difficulties of childhood, adoption, marriage, family mental illness and poverty. "Many times I was alone in this journey, even though I sought help.There are not a lot of people who have walked though these waters.... This is my story, and it may help to bring awareness to those who have not had these kinds of struggles. I have also found that being open about these things allows others to be open also."
