Summary
While I am not a Licensed Counselor, I have gained experience working with countless men who are coming out of addiction through Nehemiah Abilene. I am eager to serve, and to do the will of God. No matter what it costs, who is asking, or where I go, I have an obligation to be the hands and feet of Christ wherever the Lord puts me.
