We’re so excited to share the speaker video from our Merry Miklat Christmas Dinner, just in time for Christmas! 🎥✨ It’s an incredible reminder of the heart, courage, humour, and hope that filled the room that night. The stories shared were powerful and deeply moving, a true celebration of recovery, resilience, and community. ❤️

Unfortunately, we did run into a bit of a Grinch-like moment with our GoPro, 😅 it shut off partway through a few speeches. We want to extend a sincere apology to Pastor Lucas, Sam Hall, and Jesse Lamb. We are so sorry that your amazing words weren’t captured on video. Your messages mattered deeply to everyone in the room, and we’re truly grateful for the heart you shared with our community.

This is all part of the learning journey, much like recovery itself. We grow, we adapt, and we’ll do everything we can to capture it all properly next year. 📷💪

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Miklat Recovery, stand with our men, and believe in the power of second chances. This community means everything. 🙏❤️

✨🎄 A Merry Miklat Christmas Dinner – What a Night! 🎄✨

What an absolutely incredible evening of warmth, connection, and community. Our Merry Miklat Christmas Dinner was everything we hoped for and more — filled with amazing speakers, incredible food, and a room full of people who truly believe in recovery and in one another. ❤️

To our inspirational speakers — thank you for sharing your stories with honesty, courage, and heart. You reminded us all why this work matters and why hope is always worth holding onto.

To everyone who donated silent auction items, purchased tickets, and gave so generously — your support directly strengthens recovery in our community, and we are deeply grateful. The generosity in that room was nothing short of humbling.

A huge thank you to our kitchen staff for serving an outstanding meal and to the organizers and volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make the night flow so smoothly. These events don’t happen without countless hours of dedication and care.

A very special thank you to Evangel Pentecostal Church for welcoming us into their space, and to Lucas and Lisa Mitchell for being such tremendous supporters of Miklat and our mission — your kindness and commitment mean more than words can say.

We are continually reminded that Miklat is more than a program — it’s a community, and nights like this show just how strong that community truly is. Thank you all for making this Christmas season one filled with hope, generosity, and connection. 💫
