The Lord Set Me Free and Now HE is Calling Me to Help Others

After struggling with drugs for many years, hitting rock bottom and breaking relationships with everyone even loved ones, I began to search for help through doctors, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, secular recovery programs and faith based recovery programs. These helped some, but I could not find the answers I needed or get long lasting freedom until I found the truth in God’s Word about my identity and battle for freedom.

From there, I decided to develop my own faith based recovery program that combines what was most valuable from every method I have tried along my journey. Forever International came to life!

What We Believe

The Forever International Story

While I was attending multiple recovery programs, I absorbed the benefits and the opportunities of each. Although none of these individual methods worked for me, I realized, a combination of their strategies are what would really help someone overcoming addiction. All of the knowledge helped me to create the most valuable faith based recovery program, Forever International.

A Change in Environment

A Change in Environment

During my recovery process, I moved 2 states away to get a new environment. This was the place I found freedom. It is helpful to find a place away from your everyday surroundings.
Community and Church Education

Community and Church Education

When I moved to Charlotte, I knew I needed a community and church. Being surrounded by people who love Jesus and a prayer support network is key to long lasting freedom.
The Gift of Empowerment

The Gift of Empowerment

Finding out what your gifts are and then using them to build the Kingdom provide the satisfaction necessary to overcome addictions.
