BLINDNESS (Keith O’Neil) If you knew Keith like I do, you could hardly bring yourself to actually say he is handicapped. The man is astounding. He has amazing abilities and an astute memory. Blindness. I can’t imagine living in a world 24/ of total darkness. Keith’s spirit and attitude are even more astounding. His hope is in Christ, so in reality he doesn’t walk in darkness, but rather in the light of the Lord. “I had a choice to become bitter or better, but because of my strong faith in Christ, I knew that He would make me better; and He did.” Click here to return to Real Hope...

LOSS OF A CHILD (Bill and Brenda Maupin) I have heard parents who have walked through this phenomenally deep, dark valley say, “I have never been faced with anything in my life as difficult as this.” To lose a child has to be amazingly painful. It must take you to the brink of despair and hopelessness. Matthew was only 4 months old when he died. That journey led Bill and Brenda on a faith-journey that was indeed very costly. “Even to care for Matthew was so much out of my comfort zone,” Brenda relates. Brenda continues, “I had to truth Him, knowing that He would give me the strength to do what I have to do.” Click here to return to Real Hope...
