Reach Night at Home with a Heart Re-Cap

A Reach Team of 9-10 people headed out to spend some time with the men at the Home with a Heart Addiction Rehabilitation ministry last Tuesday. It was a great time of fellowship as we grilled up some tasty hot dogs, hamburgers, and chili on the outdoor brick grill. The grill hadn't been used in quite a while, and many of the men said they were so blessed to have a meal off that grill. They said it just tasted better!

Each of our team members had some good conversation with men in the program. After grilling out, we hung out in the cafeteria and ate with them, and just got to know some of them and their stories a little. Several of the men shared with me that they had come to faith in Christ within the last few weeks in meetings at Home with a Heart! Praise God! The Lord is truly using this ministry in a big way. As we finished eating, the men were preparing to head to their evening NA meeting. Each one I talked to had hope of freedom from addiction, and had clearly been influenced for Christ by the Director Alex Richey, staff, and volunteers of HWAH. This was the first of many Reach Teams we will be sending out. If you or your family has experience in addiction in any way, this is a great place to allow God to use you to share your experience, and love on others struggling with addiction in the name of Jesus.
