💙 Grateful for Our LIFE Addiction Recovery Leaders 💙

We want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to the incredible pastors and leaders of our LIFE Addiction Recovery chapters who faithfully show up week after week. That takes commitment and calling!

Your willingness to teach, serve, listen, pray, encourage, and walk alongside men and women in the middle of real struggles is nothing short of inspiring. Because of your commitment, hope is being restored, lives are being changed, and people are learning that freedom is possible. THANK-YOU!

You are on the front lines—loving people where they are, pointing them toward truth, and reminding them they are not alone. Your time, sacrifice, and hearts for others do not go unnoticed. THANK-YOU!

We are deeply thankful for each of you and honored to serve alongside you. ❤️

Keep shining. Keep loving. Keep leading.

We just received this message from Worth, an inmate peer support specialist. Worth teaches classes inside the prison system as an inmate. We recently submitted the life curriculum to the South Carolina department of justice for their peer support specialists to use in teaching the inmates our faith based recovery program. We continually see so much fruit from our ministry to our incarcerated students. Thank you for your support and prayers for life ministries. 

Brother Mike!
I just want too think you again for the Life Ministries material! I just got it on our computer in the dorm and Nikki is bringing that paper copies on her next visit here. She is supposed to send you the application paperwork for you to be able to come talk to us. She is a super busy person like yourself so you may want to follow up with her about it. I'm going to be starting the life ministries group here in the dorm in march at the beginning of the next quarter. We are using Casting down idols this quarter. I started to go ahead and begin LIFE but Im teaching 8 classes this quarter plus working 40 hours a week in the wood floor plant and doing one on ones ministry and clerk work on all 50+ of the classes we he here in the sober living program add that legal work and don't know how I do it lol! I'm so excited to start the LIFE group here! We just started a group called We've been called to preach & it is going so good! Me and others who feel the calling to preach take turns preaching in the unit on Sunday at 9am and then we give the one preaching feedback on delivery, content, context. God just blower it up when others started coming just to hear the Word! It turned in to Church lol! God is so good at using the things we plan in bigger ways then we imagine! I can't wait till its my turn! Everybody going to be awake in the whole building when I take my seat belt off! I don't need any microphone! Lol! I love me some Jesus! How are u doing brother?
