A Rough Path in Life

Dawson McAllister saved my life when I was nineteen years old. I happened to be going through the radio stations on a Sunday night when I heard this soft-spoken voice. I tuned into his radio program, Dawson McAllister Live, more and more. I started to hear all of these people sharing their stories of hope and faith. I was going through a rough path in life at the time. I was suicidal, frustrated at the world, and ready to blow. But Dawson’s radio program changed me, it was through him that I started to believe in Christ more.

A Brand-New Person

Thanks to Dawson’s help and the help of the HopeCoaches at TheHopeLine I started to go down a better path. Since October 22, 2009, I have had zero suicidal thoughts, haven’t self-harmed myself, and feel like a brand-new person each and every day.

Stand In the Gap

Now 10 years later, I participate in the Prayer Show with Dawson and Rachel Cardinal.  I am a Gapper which means I stand in the gap for others by going to God in prayer for them. I join the live stream prayer show and pray over the people who are posting their requests. I encourage you to tune in to the Prayer Show and let us pray for you!

Dawson is a real big help to those that are in need, and I am glad that God put him in our lives!!

To God be the Glory!
