Melanie Rivas' joy for Jesus is contagious. In fact, a recent video about how God changed her life has gone viral on social media, garnering nearly 400,000 views. Yet, just nine months ago, the 22-year-old was homeless, broke, and fleeing from an abusive same-sex relationship. "My ex-wife stole all my money and locked me out of all of my accounts. So I had nothing," she told CBN News. Rivas says she was despondent and on the brink of suicide.
