Testimony:
I was raised in an alcoholic home and learned at a young age how to use alcohol and drugs to numb my pain. My Dad found sobriety and the Lord when I was in 8th grade. Both my parents became Christians. As their life got better, mine seemed to get worse. I finally accepted an invitation to go to youth group at Bethany Bible Church. After hanging around for six months, God finally opened my eyes and I believed. I still struggled with drugs and alcohol for the next six months. It wasn't until I got real honest with some Christian brothers that I began to enjoy the real freedom that Christ had given me.
