Guest Speaker: Mariah Tramonto

We were lucky enough to have a former TurningPoint member come back to give her testimony!

Mariah Tramonto came and talked about compassion. Throughout her trials, she was specifically touched by the concept of compassion. Compassion shows unconditional love, grace and kindness.
She struggled for many years with drugs and alcohol, but was always shown compassion, especially from God. God is what we are not.

Some bible verses that have been important to Mariah are John 3:16 and the Parable about the Lost Son:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ~John 3:16 (NIV)
 Mariah is now working at Teen Challenge in Brooklyn. She works to help those struggling from drugs and alcohol, and is willing to talk to our teens if they need to talk to someone with a similar experience. If you would like to talk to Mariah, please contact Teen Challenge.

**As of April, 2014, Mariah is now living in Virginia with her husband! She is no longer working at Teen Challenge, but you can contact Teen Challenge if you are struggling with an addiction.
