It's hard to believe that we have just started the month of June, but 2009 is very close to being half over!! Things around the Men's Recovery Center are as busy as ever! Last month we graduated a new class from our 9 month Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Program. This is always a very special time for us and the men who have been with us for 9 months of their life. It's an amazing journey for them as well as for myself & Aaron. Getting to watch everyday the miracles that God works in their lives is an amazing thing. Graduation was held on May 19, 2009 at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Little Rock. Members from the church provided Corkey's BBQ to all in attendance and it was wonderful!! Thanks again to them for hosting this event for us! This go around we were able to honor four men, who over the last 9 to 10 months have made amazing progress, in not only getting control over their addiction, but renewing their relationships with God. Matt Williams, John Thomas, John Fitzgibbons and TJ Thompson were all presented with their Certificates of Graduation by Aaron. Brandan Thomas gave an amazing message about not following the ways of the world, but always to follow God! TJ Thompson was the graduate selected to give his own personal testimnony. TJ spoke of his past, his brush with death and the fact that he knows that God has more in store for him! The evening was concluded by a prayer over all four graduates and all those people who had a hand in helping them during their time with us, were invited to circle the graduates and lay hands on them as our Executive Director, William Tollett led us in prayer.
