Meet Jonathan
Jonathan graduated from the Transitional Living
Program in 2009, and since then he has been steadfast in his pursuit of the Lord as well as living a life that is an example to others. He
has not just transitioned back into society, he has opened his life to Jesus to bring out all that has been deposited within him to bring him
to a higher maturity in Christ.
Jonathan has taught classes in the TLP for those men needing that example of "one who has been in their shoes." He serves faithfully at his church, has become an entrepreneur beginning a courier business. He has not only met his goal of successful transition back into society but he truly as become a good and responsible man again. He has been blessed to recently have been married.
Meet Norris
ABM helped Norris to get back on track and to rededicate
his life to God! He was raised in the Church but drifted away. His time in the TLP gave him an opportunity to again delve into the Word of
God. Norris learned about how to love himself and others.
Since graduating, Norris has maintained employment and continually visits ABM to "check on staff." He knows that this relationship is meaningful and extremely important for his future.
