WOMEN - GODLLYWOOD I used to be a Tomboy... Maritza Barr ...Once I joined Godllywood, I changed completely. I began dressing up like a young woman and working towards being graceful with those around me. It was hard at first because of the many abuses I had gone through while growing up. I had all these shells that had to be removed before I showed the true woman inside. But once I came out, I was a whole new woman. I used to have bad temper problems and I couldn’t control myself. Fighting with my husband was a constant thing... ...I found out about Godllywood and took the opportunity to change my situation. The group taught me how to love and value myself. Today, I’m so happy! I’ve overcome my temper problems and my marriage is restored. Sandisiwe Vandala *speak to the Pastor’s wife in your branch to know more about the group. We know that the best time to get on the right track and prepare for the future is during our young years, when we're open to learn, ready to start, and go for new challenges. This is why the YPG exists. It's a way to grow together in an exciting and productive way to successful adults. and to take a stand for their lives to be better. The age is from 14 to 21 years old. A place where many have found help and encouragement. Young people are taught how to excel in their studies without falling victim to peer pressure. They are taught how to get over the problems of their past We're not like other 'feel good' groups out there. We sure want you to feel good but more than that - we also want you to do well for yourself. If you're ready for a new challenge and want to become an aboveaverage youth, then join us today.
