NEW YORK CITY MINISTRY TESTIMONY:

"I'd like to take the time to testify for myself on behalf of the good, no, make that great works that George and Debra Stevens have made in my life to this very day. I was a young and impressionable 19 year old growing up in the gritty South Bronx back in 1979. Just like most of the youths today, I had little direction, but fortunately, I was well grounded at home, thanks to my blessed mother. George came into my life and showed me a positive way of thinking, not only through faith, but with living. Now 30 years later, I have made good of my life and for that, I will never and have never forgotten George and Debra for their kindness (and large hero sandwiches back at the day care center on 205th Street!) Thank God for the Stevens'. Although I miss them terribly, I will always have them in my heart. I look forward to seeing them sometime soon out in Michigan."
