The following article comes from Rev. Lore Blinn Gibson, pastor of Grace United Methodist Church in Lafayette…
Last year, Jamie came to our A Better Life – Brianna’s Hope (ABLBH) chapter shortly after coming to town, homeless and with all his possessions in two garbage bags. He stayed in a local halfway house, relapsed, and went to a different halfway house. All the while, he came to ABLBH. This weekend, he voluntarily stood up in Sunday worship to testify to how God brought him through his struggle, to his renewal of baptism, to the fact that he has a job, an apartment, and visitation with his son. He thanked the congregation for their love and support and for offering ABLBH. He has stepped onto our Team Hope (leadership team) at ABLBH.
