Heartstep Foundation Helping Community Ministry Go “Beyond Recovery”

Virtually every family and business in the Upstate is impacted in one way or another by addiction. Law enforcement leaders have said that alcohol and other drugs are factors in a majority of traffic fatalities and serious crime in our community.
Christians know that “All things are possible through Jesus Christ.” They know that the answers to all their problems are contained in their Bible but they don’t always know where to find them.
When Christians are faced with an addicted family member who is being abusive, committing crimes, unreliable as a worker and eventually facing prison, they will usually seek advice and help from their pastor. Unless pastors are familiar with Wisdom in Living Life Ministry, they have little choice but to refer them to a private or government operated treatment facility where they are “treated” and released into the environment they came from. There is an alternative. There is a Christ-Centered, Bible-Based method for ending addiction once and for all that has proven successful for more than a decade. We need it and it needs us. We have an opportunity to take part in a proven effective Bible-based method of changing lives.

8th Upstate South Carolina Honor Flight

[Editor’s note: This is a collection of thoughts, impressions and photographs submitted by the writer with additional information provided by Paul Howell, Director Honor Flight Upstate SC.]

There are no words to properly convey the experience of witnessing the launch and return of an “Honor Flight!” There is no easy way to tell the story of those who were here today, many books have already been written about “The Greatest Generation.” Rather than try to write their names or attempt to capture their words, thoughts, stories or feelings; the camera gave them a forum to express themselves. It is in their eyes mostly, but when you get closer, it becomes almost a physically palpable feeling, the unconditional, unquenchable love for their Country and their fellow ‘Brothers-in-Arms.’
