COT: YHC shared that region in NJ where he started just celebrated 3 year anniversary. Shared again F3 story that those HIM played a role in lifting him out of deep darkness. When YHC came to Capital Region a year ago…coming home…immediately found a group of HIM who have continued to bless him. YHC expressed gratitude to the PAX.

Sad Clown Syndrome is a thing. Look for those HIM in our midst who may be hurting, the Kotters, etc. and be there for them and also to EH others who also might find F3 as transformative as it has been for YHC.

Have a blessed weekend.
