"A few weeks ago, I found myself in real need of someone I could talk to about an issue that was weighing me down. I honestly did not feel like I needed to meet with someone long-term; I just needed to discuss my hurt and move on. Marcella met with me via Zoom and I shared with her a "trauma" that I experienced at my previous church.
It was hard for me to admit the level of pain I was feeling but she gave me space to process and speak at my own pace. Once I had finished telling my story and sharing the reasons for the hurt, she validated me by offering Scripture to further validate that what I experienced was not okay - spiritually or otherwise. This hit my heart in just the right place! She very pointedly looked into my eyes and let me know that it was valid to feel the pain I was feeling.
I realize I keep using the word "valid" in different ways but, truly, that is what I needed and I didn't even know that is what I needed! The searing pain I felt in my heart has subsided and the work of forgiveness has set in. In just this one meeting, I felt heard and healed.
Thank you for supporting the work of Nourish Ministries and Marcella. Words cannot fully express my gratitude!" - E.J. from OC
“I have been through a lot in my life and I struggle to connect with people my own age. Marcella met with me, listened to me, prayed with me, and took me on a journey to overcover what God says about me. She had me take some tests and we built a notebook that is all about me and God’s mission & vision for my life. It felt sort of basic at times but it was as if she was applying layers of healing. In the end, I came away with a notebook to refer to when I am feeling off track and I noticed that my confidence increased a ton! I am so thankful to Nourish Ministries for being available to help me work through my insecurities and come away as a better friend and confident leader!” - B.B. in OC
"I am so thankful for Nourish Ministries! As a lead teacher in my church, I longed to have someone I could share my struggles with who wouldn't judge me for my messiness. Sitting with Marcella allowed me to pour out my heart in whatever manner it needed to be expressed and go back to my ministry and my family with a lighter heart. Even my husband noticed a difference in the way I reacted to things! I highly recommend Nourish Ministries for anyone - from leader to helper - who feels the need for someone to listen with grace. kindness, and perspective." - G.M. from Costa Mesa
