I came to the Center of Hope in the spring 2006. I had been addicted to Crack cocaine for over 16 yrs. I remember when Pastor
Dale first told me I needed to have a close personal relationship with Jesus, I was very offended, but I kept it to myself. Though I
accepted Christ as my Savior at 9 yrs old I never developed a true personal relationship with Him. Since coming here to the
center I have learned through the program that Pastor has put in place, that a personal relationship with Jesus is more than
one-sided foxhole prayers. I have learned to put my whole life in God's hands and not to worry anymore. My feelings of
inadequacy and loneliness have gone away since i have learned who I am in Christ. I have learned that I CAN trust God and it
has changed my life. Oh P.S. A big chunk of the pride issue has been dealt with too. God bless you.


Brian... Another graduate of the program loves to help
people and to serve the Lord. The Lord repaired his
marriage to his beautiful wife Jodi. He works full-time in
construction and home repair. Brian while he was with us
was a great help and did anything he possibly could to
serve here at the Center.
He helped us one time to clean out a bees nest and in
turn we we gained 6 gallons of honey.
John D.
John came to us in the spring of 2003. He had been through many programs
throughout his adult life, but came to grips with his life in Christ and his addiction to
alcohol while he was with us at the Center of Hope. He was a disabled vet and loved
fast muscle cars and loved fishing. He devoted all his spare time to helping in the
ministry and blessing Pastor Dale. He also served in the choir at Countryside Christian
Center in Clearwater, Florida.
John passed away Sept. 11th 2006, saved, sober and loving Jesus with all his heart
Mike came to us from the city of St. Petersburg, Fl in
2005, but is originally from Michigan.
He has many talents but his favorite is driving. He
drives some of the men to appointments, picks up
food and is a true blessing to Pastor Dale and the
staff. Mike has a heart to serve the Lord with all he
has.
