The local non-profit has been assisting men with addiction rehabilitation needs since 2015 come to know sobriety through a deep relationship with Jesus. There have been many positive outcomes for the men who have received services offered at the Christian non-profit organization according to Rev. David Foster with the Bladen Baptist Association.
