A 16 Year Long Drug/Alcohol Addiction

Wow! Today I received a call from a pastor friend of mine. Well... yesterday was the first day I ever talked to this pastor, which makes this post even more unbelievable. I called Charlie to introduce myself to him as the new Pastor of Grove City Baptist Church. My goal was to get to know him (since he pastors another church about 2 miles away) and see if he had any prayer needs. We had a good conversation, then I informed Charlie that I believe the Lord is leading me to start an addictions program within the next year. He said he would pray for me. Today he calls me and informs me of a family in his church that is having problems. The husband is an alcoholic and prescription drug abuser of 16 years. The wife, Tracy, called Charlie asking for help. Charlie suggested they talk with me, since I am looking at starting that addictions program. I spoke with Tracy and she informed me her husband is willing to go to the RU (Reformers Unanimous) Men's Home in Rockford, IL. I quickly took the application over to their home today and her husband should be there by Saturday! What a blessing to know that he is willing to take this step to change his life and his families life forever! I am praying for Al & Tracy.
