Bruce had known about God for years but lived as if He were far away. When he first entered Manna House, he resisted and did not trust in the program, leading to defiant behaviors. One Christmas, a severe ankle injury left Bruce in the hospital for over a month. In that quiet season of recovery, he encountered God in a new way. While wrestling with his doubts, Bruce decided to trust in Jesus and surrendered his life to Him. Since then, Bruce has completed the New Start Program and now works as a ministry intern, serving and inspiring other to also trust in Jesus.
