The Vlife motto is Live, Love, and Pursue. I hope to
articulate just how dramatically and drastically a
hand full of young adults, living by that motto,
changed my life and quite honestly saved my life.
I guess it has been about 5 years now, since I sat on the
edge of my bed holding my 9 mm pistol. I remember it vividly. I had two rounds
loaded and ready. Clutching the pistol, filled with despair, my mind ran out of
control. I couldn’t take it. I wanted so badly to pull the trigger, and be done with
the life that I had made for myself. “What happened?” I had gone from being a
kid with dreams, morals and hope to a desperate, depressed, border-line
alcoholic, now with a loaded pistol ready to end his life. I trembled at the
thought. The thought of being found dead by my friends and family,
admitting to failure. I suppose I gave one last “cry”. I prayed to God.
“If you are real, if there is more to this life, then I need to know.
I have to know. Otherwise, next time I am pulling the trigger.
” Honestly, I never expected anything to happen. I didn’t think I
would get an answer, but I had to hope in something . . . anything.
Within the next few weeks, I met Jeremy and he invited me to
D 101 (a bible-study). Reluctantly, I accepted his invitation,
and over the next few months, I encountered Jesus and his Holy Spirit.
This transformed my life! No longer was it about some distant God
and an outdated church. It was real life, with real people, in a real
community living the Gospel. To say I am thankful for Vlife would
be an understatement. I whole-heartedly believe if not for this
community of young adults, I would either be dead or a full-blown
alcoholic. It is with this confidence that I beg anyone who is looking for
a place to belong, who feels broken beyond repair, or wants to be part of
something bigger than themselves, to come join us and let the transformation begin.
