Pastor Randy Showing Where a Homeless Teenager Lived
Pastor Randy and I went for a walk today and decide to go down by the St. Croix Falls Dam. He told me it was where Keith used to live. Keith is one of the guys from the house who joined our program last fall and is just one of the many success stories we’ve had.
Pastor Randy showing me where Keith used to live, down by the St. Croix Falls Dam.
In the fall of last year, Keith cam by the church and was looking for a place to stay, so he could get in out of the cold. He had heard about our program and was ready to get off drugs and turn his life around. It just happened that Life 24/7 had a room for him, so after meeting with Pastor Randy, he joined the program. If our program wasn’t around to help him, Keith would’ve been homeless all winter unless he committed a serious enough crime to get him locked up, like so many others do.
With the help of Pastor Randy, the rest of the guys in the program, the church body and of course the unending love of Jesus Christ, Keith did turn his life around. In just one short year, he has moved out of the program and is now living with 2 of his Christian brothers (also graduates of the program) and is holding a steady job where he is one of the company’s favorite employees.
Anymore, it’s hard for us to imagine that Keith was at one point an addict, a thief, homeless and hopeless. When we see Keith, we now see him as a hardworking, Christ loving, humorous kid that everyone wants to be around. Thanks Jesus for helping us help this one! We love you Keith!
