Drugs are like locusts in our society. They eat all the joy and destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. They destroy families and damage communities. Drugs are a component of many stories, and one of the more compelling testimonies is Todd White’s story.
Drug addiction has devastated countless lives. Michael Thornton was so addicted to cocaine he turned to prostituting himself. But beyond the pain and the shame, he found a Love who could truly redeem him. See his testimony and how Jesus Christ saved his life from cocaine, suicide, drugs and depression,
Ashley grew up with alcoholic parents, and she was depressed from a traumatic event that happened in her life. She began to party, drinking alcohol and doing drugs in middle, and that changed to dating a drug dealer in high school and experimenting with all different kinds of drugs, including crack cocaine and oxycodone. Her depression got worse, she became suicidal and got into trouble with the law. She was ready to give up on life, and then her life changed.
Jeff grew up in Japan practicing martial arts and won national and international competitions. He became a model for Ninja Turtles and other media, but was drinking, doing Ecstasy and oxycodone, among other things. He had everything he could want, but nothing satisfied him. Jeff overdosed on Ecstasy one night in Las Vegas. His heart was beating furiously. His body was blood red. He was overheating. He knew he was dying, and he called out to God. This is the miraculous story.
Jordan Rogers began snorting heroin at age 15. His life quickly became drugs. His life was a yo yo. He was so bad into drugs that even heroin addicts stopped hanging around with him. He wanted to die. He got kicked out of a court-ordered rehabilitation center and was escorted back to jail. He knew he deserved to be there, but he didn’t belong there. He cried out to God for help. And in that brokenness, everything began to change.

Can you please pray for my 21 year old nephew Devie. He is lost, doesn’t know Jesus, has mental health issues and has gotten in trouble with the law, Last night he told me he needs money so he wants to grow pot or sell cocaine. I told him it will destroy his life. He lives in a dream world. He wasn’t invited to move with his parents to N.C. He now lives with his christian grandparents in another state. They love him very much. He doesn’t talk with his grandparents — he blames them for everything although they love him very much. He’s very angry. He stays in his room all the time, has only one friend who is a drug user and is mentally ill one homeless. I believe his friend puts bad ideas in to his life. The sad thing is that he looks up to this friend. Years ago his mother told him until he starts taking meds and goes to counseling he can’t live with them in N.C. Honestly, she’s never shown an interest in him even before he started having issues. Presently I am dog sitting and supervising him at his grandparents house for a few days.
Please pray for Devie for salvation, deliverance. Something has to change. For his grandparents too. Devie’s had issues since he was 10 years old. I really love him. Even though at times he can be difficult I see the good in him. He’s lonely and I can tell he misses having a relationship with his mother and father.
From a caring Aunt,
