Although Kristin grew up in a loving Christian
home it would not insulate her from the struggles that began in her teen years.
It was then, and later into college, that she began experimenting with drugs and
alcohol. First, it was just social drinking, but quickly Kristin discovered for
her it had become more. Soon she was ensnared into a full blown addiction. Even
meeting the “man of her dreams” couldn’t keep her sober. Even after dangerous
drinking bouts and overdosing she couldn’t stop on her own. In and out of
hospitals and even surviving car crashes finally the extent of her addiction
began to get Kristin’s attention.
Kristin did what she had been taught to do as a
small child. She began to pray and find her way back to a relationship with a
loving God. Although still feeling hopeless, Kristin started her program at
Redeemer’s. Slowly that childlike relationship with a loving Savior, Jesus
Christ, started to blossom. The Lord was restoring, transforming Kristin through
the word of God, counseling, and the group activities provided for her at RRR.
In Kristin’s own words, “I am bursting at the seams with excitement to go and
show and tell the world what God has done in my life. Thank you for the work at
redeemer’s where I was nursed back to spiritual health. I am clean and sober
through the power of Jesus Christ today!”
Ministry Spotlight
Thanks to Joanne Bullard who heads our Restorer
of the Breech Family Program here at RRR. We have been privileged to witness countless
family relationships torn apart by addiction,
restored and healed. RRR Counseling staff guides
students and their families through a weekend program which addresses communication
and family systems. Joanne has each RRR student complete extensive individual work
before joining their family for the weekend. God has proven to be faithful. It is through
your continued support that you are making a difference not only with our RRR students, but
also with our student’s families as we see God work miracle after miracle. From all of us here
at Redeemer’s, Joanne, thank you for making eternal investments through your ministry among
us.
From the Director's Desk
This has been the best year yet at RRR. We have
seen ladies from all over the United States enter our program with over 20
ladies receiving or rededicating their lives to Jesus Christ as
Savior just this year! This does not include the many miracles of transformation
within each lady’s family. Now families will have new mothers and daughters
and sisters. Your support has made the challenges really joyous.
Together your gifts make it possible for our
missionary staff to do the work that God has called them to do on behalf of a
hurting world. Although, times are uncertain, we can be certain of one
thing. What we do for God today will stand an eternal test. Your faithfulness to
the ministry here is saving lives one at a time.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you
for your sacrificial offering to us. You have been a part of the rescue of lost
and hurting women and an answer to their children and families’
prayers. We need you to help build our Student Scholarship fund today. We do not
want to turn anyone away and your gift today will make it
possible for RRR to reach out to a lost and hurting world.
