How one man's experience impacted a community

The same heartbreaking stories come to our attention over and over. "My [child, spouse, parent] has a problem with [anger, addiction, depression, sexual impurity], and I don't know what to do. I have [given him money, believed her lies, paid the utility bills, taken in the children] but things are only getting worse. Now I [worry all the time, have spent all my money, cannot concentrate enough to work, neglect my family] and nothing is better. I am at the end of my rope. What can I do?"

Ted Pearson, director of the Rescue Mission in Columbus, Nebraska, learned how to help people in these situations using the Living Free Groups. Here is how this one man responded and made an impact on his community.

What are you most excited about through using Living Free?

The Pinellas County Pregnancy Center has been using the Living Free Godly Parenting classes for three years. The success of the pilot program at the Countryside location opened the door for the classes to be taught at all three Centers.

The facilitators were trained using the Living Free Video Training and after attending the training the couples were ready to facilitate the Godly Parenting classes. Many strong friendships have been created between the teachers and the clients during their time together. Facilitators were encouraged to offer the remainder of the teaching in their local churches and invite the ladies to attend. This has been an excellent opportunity for the clients to receive the rest of this valuable teaching along with the good exposure to a church atmosphere. The hope of those at the Pregnancy Center is that they will keep attending the church and find the continued “family” support they need.
