ABUNDANT LIFE PARTICIPANT, GIAUNA has been attending programming since she was nine years old, when her family moved into the community. Giauna has participated in Elementary Tutoring & Bible Club as a youth, and now Middle School Tutoring & Royal Girls. At Royal Girls, Giauna, along with her peers, are learning how to live out Christian values through having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. After deciding to give her life to Christ, Giauna was baptized at Victory Church on April 7th, 2024.
“I wanted to get baptized, because I wanted to get closer to Jesus, and I wanted to better myself. [I feel encouraged to live for Jesus through Abundant Life’s Programming] because they help me with rough things in my life and they help me talk about Jesus more. [Through Abundant Life] I become more open and have become better about talking about my feelings to people and talking about God.” ~Giauna, Abundant Life Program Participant
“Giauna is a walking testimony. I have always told her, “Dare to be Different. You can be young, saved, and cool!” and that she is!” ~ Giauna’s mom, Sherrika
Congratulations, Giauna, your Abundant Life Family is so proud of you!
