My name is David Wood. This is a true story! It really happened. I had been lost in the world of darkness and drugs since I was a young child. I became involved in opiate addiction in early 2000 and did heroin between 2000-2005. I’ve been on Methadone twice (horrible addiction by the way). In 2001, as I lay dying from a mixture of heroin and Xanax, my friend had nodded off in a chair in the corner of the house we were in. She said as she was sleeping, something grabbed her shoulders and shook her awake. She looked around and didn’t see anyone so she went back to sleep. A minute later she was being shaken again and this time woke up and looked at me lying on the couch across the room. Realizing something was wrong, she jumped up and tried to wake me. When I wouldn't wake up, she went and got my uncle out of bed, who then called 911 and began doing CPR. I remember it like it was a dream. It felt like someone was carrying me in their arms, like I was a small child again. It felt very, very warm, peaceful and loving. It was the most wonderful loving place I’ve ever experienced. I looked up into His face and I said, “I want to stay here with You.” He hugged me tight and said, “It’s not time. You haven’t done your work yet. I’ve got work for you. Your work’s not done.” I immediately opened my eyes and I was in the intensive care unit. Tubes were coming out of every opening of my body. I tried to move and a shockwave of pain shot through my body from head to toe. It was very painful. It took me a couple of weeks to recover. By the third week, I was high again. When I got to the Wings of Life on July 6, God began to show me all the darkness inside myself. I prayed to be free from the bondage of addictions |

tion and darkness. He has replaced it with love, joy, friendships, life, worship and health. Since getting right with God, everything is coming together and working out in my life. God has great plans for me and for you. I joke around a lot but what I’m serious about is reaching the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus will bless you just because you belong to Him. Thank you for life and your blessings Jesus! By the way, this is a true story. It really happened!

My name is Tywana Woody and I thank God for Jesus. At a very early age the enemy made it known to me that my mind and soul was to belong to him. From the age of five to 12, I was sexually molested by my stepfather. Feelings of hopelessness and helplessness began to manifest with the vicious cycle of suicide attempts. At a very early age, I gave my life to God and I am convinced that throughout my madness and addiction, that’s the only thing that kept me. I was born into a family of alcoholics. By the age of 18, I had become a very aggressive drunk. The drinking, feelings of abandonment, loneliness and worthlessness led me into a lifestyle of promiscuity, abusive relationships and addiction to crack cocaine. I was always looking for a way of escape because I needed to be loved and wanted. My addiction to crack thrived for years on these emotions. Soon, nothing else mattered and as a result of my addiction, I endured several rapes as well as domestic violence and homelessness. I felt like a derelict, beyond human aid. All hope was gone, so I thought. The suicide attempts had failed. Again, thank God for Jesus! I had made at least five attempts at sobriety and had failed. It’s funny how things looked one way in the natural but once God opened my spiritual eyes, I could see. God knew all along the plans He had for my life and He already knows the end. He was paving the way for my life to conform to His will. The Enemy really began to attack my mind, spirit and body. God knew who and what it would take to get me where He needed me to be. He knew that I struggled with love and acceptance issues. He was

My name is Blue Pierce. I graduated from the Wings of Life program in 2008. After staying clean for about 9 months, I struggled again with drugs and alcohol for about four months before getting back on the right track. I am now living my dream driving a truck across the country and sharing the Good News with those coming across my path. I am engaged to be married next summer to a beautiful woman of God. I am truly thankful for the Wings of Life and the people here who helped put me on the right path. God is definitely doing for me what I could not do for myself! Thank you Wings! |
