REMODELING OF HALLWAY ENTERING THE SPRINGS OF LIFE CENTER.
Success Story #2
As it appears in the picture above, it doesn't look like much yet, but in a few weeks this will look like heaven to 10 men!
Springs of Life is a ministry Cliff Branum and a Board of Directors are designing to minister specifically to those with life controlling issues, to set them free from the bondages of addiction.
Cliff, who was himself bound in addictive bondage has found freedom in Christ. The joy and hope realized in his new life in fellowship with Jesus has inspired him to reinvest in those still living without either hope or joy.
The ministry is to be a 12 month intensive Christ-based recovery program for men. The facility will house 10. Four staff will be active around the clock. Cliff and his board of directors are interviewing and selecting staff. Meanwhile, Cliff busily juggles fund raising and the remodeling of the former GoodSoil Center. Many items such as beds and linens and other furnishings have already been donated as well as some start-up cash donations. Several teen groups volunteered their energies this past summer, though there is an ciritical need for expert carpenters, plumbers and the like to assist in a number of final touches like installing new windows and doors like the large double-door in the picture above. These doors are the actual ones through which every future recovery participant bound by addiction will enter and through which each renewed man will exit in freedom.
GoodSoil's first contact with Springs of Life Founder and Director, Cliff Branum, was interesting. Cliff, at that time, was just out of high school age and already in his own full blown addiction. A gifted musician, his charisma and charm was carrying him 'above the fray' of his destructive lifestyle, but 15 years later, after much cost financially, relationally, spiritually, and emotionally Cliff would turn and face reality at an ole' fashioned tent revival being held in Jellico. It was that night that Cliff sensed it was time he changed everything. He knew it was God calling him to turn around. He obeyed that evening and now, three years later, he is not only free, he is building a path to freedom for others.
