He is Alive !
Before coming to Mt. Hope Camp, I was hopeless. I didn't think that my life could
change. I was in the world without hope, without God. On November 29, 2004, mercy said "No!" Jesus Christ saved
me from a life of destruction. I have completed the 18 months structure phase, 6 months of pre re-entry and am now in
the re-entry phase of the program. I am a junior staff member as well as a full time student at Warren County Community
College. I am going to school to receive a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. Jesus Christ has restored
my life. Today I have an intimate relationship with my Savior.
God's goodness to me...
Truly the God that I serve is a good God! I
knew as a little girl that there was a God in heaven. Although I knew this, I didn't know Him personally. There
was no relationship between us. Since this was only in my head and not in my heart there was no power in my life. I
made many hard choices and suffered needlessly. I went through many twists and turns by living a self centered life. Through
a difficult situation, I cried out to God. I needed to know Him in my heart and I asked that He would save me. At
eighteen, I persononally met my Savior! After ten years of trying to serve the Lord in my own strength, I
gave Him everything. Mt. Hope Camp is the place that God used to teach me intimacy. I have been
blessed through many of the classes and encouragement here. I've learned how to walk and talk with Jesus. The
two precious children that God has lent me are blessings also! They are being taught to know the Lord in their hearts
and lives. I am now a staff member at Mt.
Hope Camp, and God is all powerful. Through
trials and tests He shows Himself to be very Good!

Before I came to Mt. Hope Camp my life revolved around trying to impress my
family and friends. In the attempt to impress, I made terrible choices that lead to destruction. I started to deal
drugs and then before long I became a drug user. Drugs became my life. I was desperate for
change! I wanted to get my life back but I was trapped in my addiction. I felt ashamed, alone and I didn't know
where to turn. At Mt. Hope I gave my heart to the Lord and God taught me how to have a relationship with Him.
He taught me how to have a relationship with my family. Now my children and I can talk, laugh, and enjoy life together
in Christ Jesus.
