“Nothing filled the empty place that I had in my life… I tried the drug scene… As you ask Him to deliver you from drug addiction, alcoholism etc., He will do it. Sometimes, it happens very quickly, other times, it takes a while.”
John Clayton
“I have sat on the edge of my bed with a .22-caliber rifle between my legs, trying to have enough guts to pull the trigger. I bottomed out that low… You can try sex, drugs, alcohol, stealing, and all kinds of things in a desperate attempt to find happiness. I can testify from experience that you may find pleasure, but you will not find happiness.”
Michael Main
“I started drinking heavily, and doing drugs. That was a pattern that lasted for decades… I used booze and drugs and the sound of my own voice to block out God. I wasn’t ready to hear what He was telling me.”

Darrell Anderson
“I talk to women I use to know, women I have never met, pimps, drug addicts, drug dealers, and anyone else who will listen. I talk to them about God's power to deliver them and heal them. I share my testimony with them to let them know that I can identify with them.”

“I lost all sense of right and wrong, as I plunged into a web of lust, perversion, drunkenness, drugs and pornography.”

Ian Dale
“I broke free of obsessions, addictions, bad attitudes and bad habits, and started to replace them with good and constructive ones, in ways I was never able to do before.”

Gary Mitchell
“I left home at 18, and began a life seeking worldly pleasures: alcohol, drugs, fornication, materialism, and whatever came along. I always knew that something was missing, that this temporary satisfaction always left me feeling empty.”
Ronald Harris
“AFTER OVER 27 YEARS OF ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION, JESUS DELIVERED ME. NOT ONLY DID HE DELIVER ME BUT HE RECONCILED MY MARRIAGE AND HAS BLESSED ME…”
Abdelrahman
“…because I had inherited from my father a good fortune, I was able to do a lot of wicked things - wasting money on sex, alcohol, drugs, whatever I could find for pleasure.”
