Evangelyn Gomez said, “ I would drink recreationally, I thought. Then all of a sudden, I am taking shots just to make dinner. I have my bottle hidden in the freezer behind the fish sticks. You think it’s just going to take the edge off, and suddenly it’s a life-dominating sin. You can change. It takes the Lord in your life and that choice to follow His will above our own will.” Pastor Mike Gomez is the Director of U-Turn-For-Christ. Evangelyn is the Director of the Women’s Ministry, and she is Mike’s partner in life. They have committed their lives to helping people facing addiction through their ministry U-Turn for Christ.
