From more than a twelve-year addiction to crack cocaine, estrangement from family, licentious living and many near death experiences, God has delivered me. He has literally moved me from the crack house to His house. He has restored my mind and has equipped me to tell men and women of His boundless love, unfathomable mercy and amazing grace. Not only has he hired me for the position of ambassador, I came to realize that He had paid my wages two thousand years before I accepted the job.
In my journey from crack to Christ, I made some amazing discoveries. As I dwell upon the life of Jesus, my character was being transformed. As I contemplate His payment on Calvary, my pride was turned into humility. My drug addiction and drunkenness were remade into sobriety as I beheld His glory and majesty. The rough traits of my personality have been turned into attitudes of kindness, benevolence, and politeness by partaking of His amazing grace. In the light of His love and mercy towards me, my prejudices were replaced by love, respect and appreciation for all my fellow men. I was made to realize that it was not the qualification of the applicant that mattered; but rather that the position qualifies the applicant.
I had never participated in a formal 12 Step program, But have come to realize that my journey from crack to Christ was verily a walk in those 12 steps. It was in the midst of my addiction that I was introduced to Jesus Christ and the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I have been a baptized member of the Seventh-day Adventist church for seventeen years. I currently serve as Elder and Personal Ministries/Evangelism Coordinator at my local church in Macon, GA. In that capacity, I am in charge of a mission outreach to the inner city community. I am coordinating the Journey to Wholeness 12 step group at the Wimbush SDA Church in Macon, GA.
