‘God Has Changed My Life’

‘God has changed my life, given me confidence and brought me friends and family I didn’t have before.’ These are the words that Molly, one of our Community Grocery members in Wigan, used as she described the hope she’s now found in God.

Since becoming a member of the grocery, Molly felt welcomed and supported, and immediately felt like she wanted to give back. She joined the store’s team of volunteers and started to help out each week in the grocery’s ‘Toasty Tuesdays’ coffee morning and toddlers group. As the team got to know her more, they chatted to her about Jesus, what he’d done in their lives and invited Molly along to church. One Sunday, she came to a service, heard more about Jesus and responded to the gospel!

Since then, her faith has gone from strength to strength and she’s just got baptised along with another Community Grocery member and 22 others!

Over in Newcastle, Em has been coming to shop since it opened in February 2022. Life hadn’t been easy and she was struggling with severe anxiety and even found herself having panic attacks in the store at times. Over time, the team got to share more about the hope and peace Jesus offers, pray with Em and support her.

Last week, when she came in store for her shop, she chatted to our team saying, ‘I haven’t had a panic attack in a long time and I know that you here at the grocery have played a huge part in me getting better. I don’t know what I would have done without you.’ The team got to chat with her more about God’s love and are praying for her as she learns more about Jesus.
