My name is Thecla, I’m from Algiers and I work in the entertainment and health care business. I’ve been attending Berean since May of 1999. I grew up in the student ministry here at Berean.

This brought a sense of loneliness, like I was never good enough for anyone. These thoughts continued throughout high school as I worked to try and be a good person, or what I considered to be a good person. Ultimately, this l...  Read More
