“I was a drug and alcohol counselor who relapsed. I was working with teenage substance abusers with emotional disturbances. I stepped away from the Lord; relied on my own strength instead of God’s and relapse occurred.”

“One day as I realized I had obviously hit bottom I was contemplating suicide. I had an all out fight with God. I told Him I could not get sober on my own. I tried and am not trying anymore and if He was real, He must show Himself to me because I could not do it. And if He put my feet back on His narrow path, I would commit my life to Him and serve Him the rest of my days.”

“The next morning, I was out getting some food because I ran out the night earlier. And while walking on the road from getting some food from a community church in Running Springs, I was hitchhiking on the road. Some guys came and picked me up and after a little conversation I found out that they were from Full Circle Outreach – a drug and alcohol recovery ranch in Norco and that there was a bed available in that facility at that moment and if I wanted to I could get a ride down there and stay. This was God telling me to go with them and not look back.”

“A couple of weeks ago I completed the program, and now I am seeking the Lord’s will concerning leadership in the Full Circle Outreach ministry. I am praying specifically to go to Coolwater Ranch for God’s glory!”
