(Tell us your story! - (featured story below)  Upload your vid!)

Each one of us is on our own hero’s journey. Challenges rise up for everybody, and how we face them shows us who we are, and who we’d like to be.  We want to hear about YOUR journey, about the obstacles you’re facing in your life and where you’d like to go.  And if you’ve overcome an obstacle along the way, however small it might seem to you, we’d like to hear about that too.  Maybe, just maybe, someone else is facing the same challenge and your story will give them the faith they need to know they can get over too.  So write us, or post a video.  Together, there’s nothing we can’t overcome!

Know Obstacles!  Know Freedom!

Featured Story: (from Mounir)

My father was from morroco.  He was three times world champion in taekwondo.  He taught tkd at temple and thats where he met my mom.  They had me. My mother has severe mental conditions. Two years later, I was seven and she took me to a mental institution and told them I overdosed on medication (a complete fabrication) They admitted me for three months.  From there I moved to a group home, then another group home, then foster home. Then my aunts house with my brothers, then foster home then my moms house.  I've been to fifteen different grade schools.  When I turned nineteen I moved in with my father, then he was killed.  I was then homeless for about 8 months and I lived in a shelter.  I got involved with my brothers gymnastics stuff.  I cleaned up my act, got in school, worked three jobs and went into the world on my own.  I finally feel like I have a dream now, and so does my brother.  My entire life I never felt like I was ever worth anything, but you guys see value in me and my brother and it means the world to us.  We are going to train our asses off until we are good enough to be members (even though we are EXCITED AS HELL!!!! about being affiliates)  I also wanted to thank you guys again for bringing me and my brother together again.  You guys are good people who really care about your atheletes and you have a lot of good karma coming your way. 
I just want to say thanks again! WFPF!!!!!!
