Nicky Collins

I grew up in a Christian family and although I found God’s love, life took me away from that love which resulted in deep addiction. Now in recovery from addiction I have restored the love I once felt and have a passion for people encountering Jesus as I now know the peace within Christ’s love is so much more life giving then the chaotic life I was once in.
