Matthew
Waiting to be sentenced for trafficking and dealing large amounts of drugs in his small country town, Matty thought there was no hope. Standing in Court, Matty shared his recovery journey with the presiding Judge. The magistrate offered Matty an opportunity to prove that he was serious about wanting to turn his life around. Matty went on to become one of our best House supervisors. Matty's story of recovery will blow you away!

Rangi
Life with out violence, crime, and addiction is my new way of life. And...I like it! My journey has been a tough one, but with the right focus, the right people leading me, and the desire to do whatever it takes, I can say, I'm a new man with a new destiny. God has truly taken me from death to life. Life in my marriage, life family, and life in my spirit.

Mike
I have learnt to take ownership for my actions, and how to take control of my anger, I can control myself better, I am more aware of my surroundings, and more assertive with others. I have learnt to hold my brother's accountable for their actions. What I look forward to being a positive role model and leader for others to follow, and I look forward to seeing more of Gods plan and purpose revealed over my life.
