The youth camp in Louisiana, in which I was scheduled to preach, had to be canceled. But God opened another glorious
door to preach and witness for 4 consecutive days at Mission of Hope Ministries, here in our home city of Mobile.
Mission of Hope Ministries is a three month program designed to minister to men and women who are addicted to
drugs or alcohol. The program for men is called “Mission of Hope”; and the “Haven of Hope” for women. This Ministry
does not charge for their ministry and services. It is totally funded by churches, individuals and businesses, who have a
passion to help those who are suffering from addictions. The sanctuary was packed with the over 50 men and 15 ladies
in the program and their counselors. God granted tremendous liberty and power, as I preached about the glorious
Gospel; the reality of conversion; the evidences of true conversion; and consequences of refusing to be converted!
The Living Word, the Lord Jesus, was mightily present among us, applying the written word to many hearts and lives in
the room. There was not one single moment of distraction in any of the services! God was obviously doing eternal
work in the lives of many of the men and women. Jim Jordan, the Director of the Mission said, “God did a good work
in the lives of our men and women; as well as in the staff. Ms. Jeanne, the director of the Haven of Hope, said ‘Her
girls told her they were glad to finally hear a preacher they could understand’! We know that this testimony is a reality
because of the power and illumination of the Holy Spirit. Please pray for these men and women, that they would
all come to savingly know the life-changing power of the truth of the Gospel; and that the truth would set them free!
