June 10, 2018 – The center helps men turn their lives around through a 6-12 month program. Cory Johnson, Michael Byrd, and Mark Parrett say though addiction is something few can understand, they appreciate those who led them to Christ. “I got to where I couldn’t even function as an alcoholic,” Johnson said. “I’d be laid up for weeks at a time.” Drugs and alcohol took over their lives, a pattern Michael Byrd says repeated itself. He says he lost his mother to addiction. As a birthday present to his daughter, Byrd hopes his baptism shows her he plans to not let drugs separate them. “It was something that I grew up around and it’s been such a journey for me,” he said. “ [I] finally saw that I didn’t want my daughter to see those things that I had to.”
