To Craig,

Living Stones Recovery Center/First Contact Ministries Rehab has given me the chance to slow down, reflect and truly understand who I am and who I want to become. I'm grateful for the guidance, the patience, and the support I've received along the way. Every conversation, every lesson, and every challenge has helped me rebuild not just my habits, but my sense of purpose and self-worth.

Most of all, I'm thankful for the opportunity to start again. Not everyone gets a second chance to rewrite their story, and I don't take that lightly. I'm leaving this chapter stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever to live a life that I can be proud of.

With sincere gratitude,
Andrew Bliss

A word from a trusted business professional concerning First Contact Ministries ~

I'll tell you this:

Abstinence-based. Christ-centered. Thirteen-plus years in the trenches. That isn’t marketing language — that’s earned credibility. In a space crowded with funding streams, policy shifts, and popular narratives, conviction backed by lived experience carries a different weight.

You’re not competing for attention. You’re speaking to a specific audience — the parents who have cried themselves to sleep, the families who have drained savings trying to save someone they love, the ones who are exhausted from watching relapse after relapse. When you know exactly who you serve, your message sharpens, your strategy clarifies, and your voice gets stronger.

Faith-based conviction doesn’t replace excellence; it demands it. When your operations, communication, and leadership match your mission, you become unignorable.

What you’re carrying isn’t just a business model — it’s a calling. And when calling meets competence, influence follows.

Thursday Testimony: A former Living Stones Recovery Center Resident

I was sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but I hate what i do ~ Romans 7:15

My past is over there. I am over here.
I'm a new man.

I now work full time for God in His ministry. I am committed to serving God and helping people.

I have never had less materially or monetarily than I do now. But, I have never been happier.

I'm the husband I want to be. The Dad I want to be. The man I want to be. The man God has called me to be.

Would you give someone a Big Mac if they were hungry?

First Contact Ministries has helped thousands of people struggling with addiction over the last 13 years.

We are asking you to help us help them. All for the cost of a Big Mac once a month.

$10 a month can save a life, rescue a child, rebuild a family.

Would you help us help them?
