Grace Utomo (‘15, ‘19) and her husband, Ivan (‘17), visited California Baptist University to share their story about trusting in God’s goodness despite incredible hardship.

This week was the first time they had been on campus since December 2016, when their hard journey began. Back then the two were newlyweds, accomplished musicians and Grace worked at CBU in the College of Health Science.

Grace was meeting Ivan to drive to a Christmas concert. As she crossed Magnolia Avenue, sheet music and violin in hand, she was hit by a car going 40 mph. Life it would never be the same.
