Pastor Shawn Brace’s world began to shift one Friday night, after a close-knit gathering in a family home. “Why does church have to be more than this?” he asked himself.

Greg’s Miraculous Story
BMX, drugs and finding Jesus
Share this video with someone who needs to be inspired. Greg Fernance gained severe epilepsy after his third major BMX accident. Doctors told him that he’d never walk or drive again, so he lost all hope. He started drinking, taking drugs, stealing and tattooing skulls on his body. This all changed when he met his local pastor. Thanks to God’s power, Greg is a transformed man. He is now the pastor of Grafton Seventh-day Adventist church.
