Tomorrow night, Thursday, April 25, the Mt. Grace Men & Women Adult & Teen Challenge will return to the Winnfield Civic Center for the production of their Spring Gala, featuring dinner and a silent auction, together with a program of testimonies to the success of a Christ-based program that’s breaking the cycle of addiction for so many.

Door at the center at the fairgrounds will open at 5:45, with the dinner and silent auction set for 6 until 7 p.m.  The program will begin at 7.  Tickets to support this faith-based program are $10 at the door.

The Louisiana Mt. Grace program was launched in 1970 in a backdrop where some 40 million Americans (about 1 in 7 over the age of 12) have problems with drug or alcohol addiction.  Unfortunately, under traditional recovery programs, there is an 85% relapse rate, often in the early months of recovery.  The faith-based approach accept “In Christ, he is a new man…the old man is gone.”  Success rates are higher.

Those attending tomorrow’s Gala can hear some of those stories.
