There Is A Way Out
We continue our series on addiction as the new year begins with a look at McDowell County’s Freedom Life ministry, which is working to help end addiction for hundreds of men and women. Marlene Houk gives a tour of the work the ministry is doing to make a difference in the lives of those it is helping. We hope you will be inspired by the story of how Freedom Life is helping those in the throes of addiction to find their way out.
