About Elsa Kok Colopy
This Is My Truth
My history was littered with brokenness. God never let me go. He pursued my heart even as I ran away. Over the last 25 years, everything has changed. In a beautiful unfolding, he brought light out of my darkness. Now it’s my life goal to help others experience him in authentic, life-changing ways
