Helping People Find Their Way Back to God in San Francisco

Aaron Monts, Lead Pastor of IKON Community, did a Leadership Residency with NewThing and is now helping people find their way back to God in San Francisco. Here is a testimony of Katie and how she describes her journey at IKON, a NewThing Church:

"I was an alcoholic struggling with bulimia. Not a good mix. I had a horrible view of myself and in no way thought Jesus could ever want anything to do with me. I was pretty messed up. I started coming to IKON with my then boyfriend and I got connected with so many great people who told me that Jesus cared about me. When my relationship ended with my boyfriend, I couldn't leave IKON. So I stayed through the awkwardness and as a result, I found Jesus. I am a completely different person now. I am a recovering alcoholic, and no longer bulimic. I am getting so much great help, support and prayers from my IKON community. I wouldn't be where I am today without them."

Praise God for church plants like IKON who are helping people find their way back to God in the here and in the eternity.
