Hi Thomas, I was a wow back in 84-85 in Fresno. I would love to get in touch with Steve Strick. Any idea's you might have so that i can accomplish that would be very welcome. Thanks in advance, Maria Thomas

Thankyou RainbowsGirl and Belle! And for "Gods sake" let the healing begin already....

Greetings, My name is Maria and I left Idaho to become a WOW ambassador in 1984. Prior to that i became a believer in '82 and took PFAL shortly there after. I went to three ROA's, the intermediate class, advanced class in San diego '85. I ran the teen twig/fellowship in Fresno for a year after WOWing. But most importantly i loved God, Jesus, and the Word of God, and, my "father" in the Word VPW. My last year with the Way I started to feel like a fake. I looked all around me and saw these wonderful believers and the way that God worked in their life. I wrote a letter to Martindale and asked what he thought i should do next, Way corps, twig leader, etc..... and he sent me some wishy washy answer. I felt like a total loser. I was crushed (don't really know what i expected, kick in the butt, advice, leadership on his part?). VPW had died the year before, and I knew something was going on at HQ's but didn't know what. I ended up joining the army and "running" away to Germany. I never heard from anyone after that, apparently i had made a very bad decision and hence was cut off. When I got back to the states i contacted one of my WOW sisters, was quickly brushed off, i was persona non grata. Glad i've found this site, makes me feel that i'm in good company, not so bad afterall.
