"SMC gave me a sense of Independance. I learned to really trust God in ALL things. God really taught me how to be a woman strong in Him."
Faith Oti (From UK)
"My time in SMC was one that gently urged me to grow more and more, to show the love that turned my heart upside down, and to go wherever God guides."
Hanna Lehtinen (From Finland)
"During my time in SMC God taught me that my walk with Him has nothing to do with my performance, but everything to do with His grace - there is great freedom in the knowledge that there's nothing I could do to make God love me less, and moreover, there's nothing I need to do to make Him love me more; I just need to be me and let Him be my God.."
Kadri Kadastik (From Estonia)
