Michael getting baptized |
We met Michael a couple of years ago at Faithworks, where he was known as mighty Michael with the mighty appetite, and we became friends. He is a hard worker who doesn't have trouble finding a job, just trouble keeping one, because his demon would always come back at the worst time. He's been trying to break his drug addiction for most of his life, going through various programs & counselors. He knew he needed something different.

People from HOPE Church praising God for his rebirth |
April 20th at Jacob's Dream on the ACU campus is when Michael started something different. After a lot of studying, prayer & sharing his testimony at church, Michael decided to give his life to Jesus & be baptized for the forgiveness of his sins so the Holy Spirit could come live in him.
He knows his addiction is not gone, and there will still be struggles ahead, but now he has the power to deal with them by giving them up to God for healing.
On July 10th Michael graduated from the Serenity House for recovering addicts. His story keeps getting better.
