Ryan was asked to write an article in our churches news issue entitled," Stories of Hope". This is what he shared:
My name is Ryan Harris. For many years, I was upset and feeling weary. People are scared of me because of my intense Autism gestures. In the silence there is extreme upset. Not able to talk, a nice teacher helped me to spell. Soon feelings flooded my mind. Listening, God spoke. Holy Spirit now realized. Now fostering good feelings, so present is the Holy Spirit. I am healing. God is giving me a real voice. At Hope Church, I see God working through Capernaum camp. Camp challenges us to try new things. God gives us the strength to learn how capable we all are. Wisdom is found in our times of prayer together. I find love through the selflessness in our learders. Love your neighbor as yourself- this is what camp teachers. Always remember, peace God gives now and into eternity.
