Eric’s addiction began in high school and slowly escalated from weekend drinking to daily pills, then he**in. His life unraveled through arrests, overdoses, and the heartbreak of watching friends die from the same choices he was making. In 2016 he walked through the doors of Adult & Teen Challenge, surrendered his life to God, and everything changed. He rebuilt his faith, found purpose, and eventually joined our staff, serving with the gifts God restored in him. In addition to being the head of IT & Graphics, Eric enjoys helps ministries and Christian artists with their media production.
Sara’s journey was marked by trauma, abuse, addiction, and deep pain. Years of searching for relief led her into dangerous relationships and he**in use that nearly took her life. After being freed from an abusive situation, she entered Adult & Teen Challenge in 2015. There she encountered God’s love, found healing from her past, earned her GED, and rebuilt her life on a foundation of hope. She is a director of a program overseeing the care of adults with disabilities.
Today, Eric and Sara are married, sober, thriving, and serving others with compassion. Their story is living proof that no life is too broken for God to restore.
