My name is Abigail Barrow, and I am truly honored to be selected as an MVP for the H.O.P.E. Convention. Being a part of the 2025 H.O.P.E. convention helped me grow closer to God and trust Him more in my everyday life. by going to my selected workshop and having conversations in the small groups every day. I learned that even when I feel unsure or overwhelmed, God is always ordering my steps. This experience showed me that God can use every challenge to help me grow stronger it also showed me how to be social and to participate and not to be scared shabach. Through prayer and faith, I learned to let go of fear and lean on Him. H.O.P.E. helped me see that my faith is a big part of who I am becoming and my current situation.

During the H.O.P.E. Convention, I felt God’s presence through the love and support of the people around me. I was surrounded by encouragement, kindness, and people who truly cared. i also had so much fun with all of them who helped me strengthen my relationship with God and feel more confident in my faith. i enjoyed being the first to participate in everything and having the energy to finish strong. I learned that trusting God means believing in His plan even when I do not have all the answers. This experience encouraged me to keep putting God first in everything I do. I believe H.O.P.E. is a place where faith grows and people feel like family. I will be coming back this year, 2026!
