Hello Capernaum family and friends!  For those who don’t know me, let me in introduce myself.  My name is Angela West, and I am from Chesapeake, Virginia.  I have cerebral palsy, and I spend a great amount of time in a wheelchair.  I recently graduated from Old Dominion University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Therapeutic Recreation.  I knew I wanted to work with children with disabilities ever since high school. This year I have been invited to come on part-time staff with Capernaum.

 

I have been going to church almost my entire life.  However, in September of 2005, I realized that I needed to commit my entire life to the Lord.  I learned that the God who created me wanted to have a personal relationship with me.  How awesome is that!?!

 

It is a funny story of how I came to Capernaum.  During my last semester of classes, Kari, a leader in Virginia Beach, saw me in the hall of school.  She would always ask me to come to club, but I always had Wednesday night meetings.  Then, my best friend got a call from John, and she wanted me to come with her to a Tuesday night club.  I remember leaving that night and being speechless in amazement.  I loved seeing the leaders looking into the hearts of people with disabilities.  Ever since that night, I have not stopped coming to Capernaum.  So here I am, right where God led me!  I am looking forward to the awesome opportunity of serving the Lord and the kids! 

 

My life verse:

 

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Corinthians 12:9

 

 

 

 

 

In His Grace,

Angela
