Here is Mary's story of how God brought healing and change into her life and her family's lives.

God formed Mankind for two things—Sonship and Inheritance. (Genesis 1:26) In our image, after our likeness is an idiom that speaks of a parent/child relationship. Let them have dominion gives all of the earth to Mankind as an inheritance of God’s good creation. We were made to know whose we are, who we are, and what has been given to us as a result. Sin turns us into orphans, disconnected from our Father, disconnected from our inheritance. Jesus came to restore both.
