After we got married we lived, and still live, in New York City. God provided good jobs for both of us. In 1981 God led us to a church 30 miles from our house. The church had many home groups, except for people with physical disabilities. We started His Abundant Love Ministries as a home group.
Today there is a chapter in Brooklyn and one in the Bronx.
Here I was 21 years old and thought I had no future. Nine years later I still had very little muscle use and used a wheelchair for mobility. Even though I was a college graduate with a degree in Speech-Language Pathology, life was not worth living. I have no siblings, my parents are about 35 years older than I am, and I was not dating. As the years in college went on I had become more and more depressed until I actually had a physical pain in my chest.
