I thought anyone who happens to read this blog might be interested to see where I am at right now. ( Make sure you stop the Free Chapel video that I have on auto-play in the right hand applications pane first) I made this video while I was still going through the program. I made it with my wifes little still camera, so the video isn't that great, but hey, we work with what God gives us right? I am now interning with the ministry, and I will have to say that I am in my element, and happy most of the time. It can be a little stressful at times dealing with a bunch of drunks and drug addicts, but I am well equipped considering my own history, and I love these guys. It can be heartbreaking at times, especially when I have to ask someone to leave because of rule infractions, but that is the nature of the beast.
I hope you enjoy the video, it is a little slice of what life here is like, and if you feel so led we are always looking for donations. The Open Door Christian Center is a Christ centered, not for profit organization, ran primarily on donations and monies received by recycling cardboard in the community. The men who go through the 3 month program do so at no charge, except in cases where they may be receiving social security or disability etc, and then ODCC does ask for a donation based on the amount of money they receive.
God bless you, and please pray for the guys here as well as their families who have been effected by the ravages of substance abuse.
