“When the Lord opens a door, the wise man walks through it”

This little glass pipe was handed to me yesterday by a fellow who we just picked up at a local “overdose camp” in Abbotsford. It was perfect timing because he just arrived minutes before us and hadn’t used in almost a week, and we put him into the van and took him right into treatment as he met all the right criteria to get a bed. He handed me this pipe and said “man am I glad to get rid of this” - and I smashed it 🙌❤️

This is the second male in 4 days while doing our daily street outreach around town that has chosen recovery and gave away their bikes on the spot and got in the van. TODAY THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please pray for our friends that they will stay in the program and surrender their lives to the will of God, and that Jesus would heal all the trauma and pain that has enslaved these men for so many years.

This is the real deal folks, people being bound and caught in addiction for so many years and problem after problem compounding to crush their hopes, dream, souls and lives and now….. now we will watch the hand and Love of God set these prisoners free and return them back to their families ❤️❤️❤️

The Lord opened a door, and they walked through it-into their new lives ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Joshua House Recovery Ministries for taking all our guys in ❤️

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please reach out and we will help you navigate the systems and get you going in the right direction ❤️

“Down with the old-up with the new”

This is what celebrating the Lords grace and mercy looks like…. And there’s nothing better then an open house and 8 baptisms at Joshua House’s - “the creek” to get the celebration going 🥳🤩😍🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

There were beautiful testimonies, families rejoining their lost loved ones, great food, sunshine - and 8 baptisms this afternoon. It was a beautiful day.

Also, I got to see a few people I put into this program over the last few months, and they are doing great….❤️❤️

Praise the Lord ❤️❤️

Yesterday I had to narcan my client who decided it would be a good idea to convince his ride to stop on the way to treatment and pick up some dope for one last hurrah, we’ll… he made it to treatment, but with 1 overdose on the way, and once he got there he came to a stark reality that he was now being denied entry due to his drug use-because a treatment centre is not a detox!!

So his driver brought him back to her house and he promised he wouldn’t use there, but unfortunately his addiction was too strong for him to hold his word-and I was called to the residence where I administered 2 shots of naloxone to him.

Once he woke up, I explained to him that he was seconds from leaving us for good and he sat there and cried on the floor. He was extremely grateful for the naloxone shots, but the consequences of his actions caught up quick and now he was on his way out the door to the streets again.

This young man has been in contact with me every few weeks and he really wanted to get clean and into his new life-and he was almost there-but he picked up on his way to treatment and he threw it all away and almost died with 2 overdoses the same day.

Lately, He’s been getting a ride to a park on the edge of town where he sleeps so he can’t get fentanyl cause there’s none around, and then his friend picks him up every morning and he spends the day with her and she drops him back off again to the park-they’ve been doing this for days to get him 72 hrs off street drugs to enter treatment.

Here’s the kicker…. God had a plan 🤗🥰

When I was walking him out of the building last night, he asked to go back to the park cause he wants so bad to get sober he said “JOSEPH IM NOT GIVING UP”….

What I learned in that moment was that he had a bed lined up at creekside detox in the morning for him, and he wanted to go back to the park because he didn’t want to die, he was so scared of himself using he wanted to go sit in complete isolation away from everyone and the world.

I just stood there in utter disbelief at this guy, at the sheer determination to want change…

So I dropped him off at the park, went home and grabbed lawn chairs and some food my wife made for him, and sat with him to make sure he got through the night.

We ordered pizza late and talked all night. The childhood memories, fishing stories, challenges and experiences I heard from this guy was incredible. We talked for hours about what he would want his new life to look like, and how he wants to get his (now folded in half) body back in shape. He cried…

This morning, I’m happy to report that he made it to detox so he can start his journey 😍😍🙌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Please, please, please say a prayer for this young man that the Lord will captivated his heart and set him free of this bo***ge he is in.

I love sitting back and seeing God work

A few weeks back I was contacted by a nice young man from our community named Benji, he explained to me that he goes to ACS (Abbotsford Christian school), is in grade 8 and doing a research project.

His teacher allowed the class to pick a community topic that touched their hearts and guess what Benji chose…

HOMELESSNESS…. ❤️

Benji, his parents and I met to discuss GZM-who we are and what we do so Benji could draft up a report on the community challenges around homelessness and the problem addicts face and what the solution is.

After the meeting I asked Benji (with his parents) if he would like to join us on an outreach so they can get the experience of serve our vulnerable community members too… and we had a blast 🙌🤗

It was a real eye opener for our 3 guests as the plates of meals went out, the goodie bags created at the back of the van, and hearts and souls touched as we encouraged people along the way.

I’m happy to report that there were zero incidents and just happy-heart warming memories made, with hopefully many more to come.

Thank you Benji, mom and Dad for joining our team ❤️
