Special Testimony From Our Very Own, Ernie Rodina

Friends,

As many of you I am dealing with a major health issue that has changed my life and made me do  a “gut check”.

I want to share with you a youtube video of where I am really focussing my life.  Many of our friends and family are dealing with their own crosses they have to bear. So whether it is a loss of a friend or family member to death, cancer, dementia, alcoholism, drugs, PTSD or whatever. Hopefully this video will show you how I am dealing with my condition.  I hope it can be a help to you.

“I am all in for Jesus”
