Stanley's Transformation

From despair to purpose and renewal through faith and community

Stanley at The Other Side Ministry

A Life Renewed

In the spring of 2023, Stanley's life had hit a breaking point. For years, he'd been trapped in a cycle of bad decisions, addiction, and self-doubt. Every attempt to turn things around had ended in failure, leaving him feeling more isolated and defeated than ever.

"I was at my lowest when I found The Other Side Ministry. They showed me that my past didn't have to define my future."

Stanley wasn't sure what to expect when he first walked through the doors, but he knew he had nothing left to lose. As he shared his story in weekly sessions, something shifted within him. It wasn't just the therapy or the guidance—it was the simple act of being heard and accepted without judgment.

Purpose

Found new meaning through spiritual growth

"Under the mentorship of Rev. Easter Allan and Pastor Millicent, I began a transformative journey through counseling, spiritual mentorship, and recovery programs. I discovered that helping others healed parts of myself I didn't know were broken. Today, I serve in the Outreach Hope Church, continuing to grow and rebuild trust with myself and others."
