'BIBLICAL ILLITERATES' MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Editor, the Times:

I, as many other "biblical illiterates" as Robert Rock describes us
(Addicts don't have a prayer, Times, Jan. 4), have as much concern, or
more than him, for the addicts in our cities. I ask, Mr. Rock, what
are you doing to change things?

Does Mr. Rock want more of government input, with more safe injections
sites? How about with the latest idea? Free booze for alcoholics? Sad
to say, government run programs don't work too well.

Many addicts will tell you that halfway houses have drugs, etc.,
available. Detox centres keep you for a week, but you can go do your
own thing. You read articles about "drugs found in jails"

We do agree that there is a huge problem and things do need to change.
Prayer can bring about that change.

There are two very successful programs right here, funded by churches.
Teen Challenge and Wagner Hills Farm.

I would like to invite Mr. Rock to a Recovery Church service in
Langley at Christian Life Assembly. Every Sunday evening there are a
couple hundred people - mostly addicts that come for prayer and
salvation from their demons. He will hear testimonies on how lives
have been changed through God. Mr. Rock, would you like to come?

Life is full of do's and don'ts, no matter if you are in church,
government or families. If you want to go play with your friends son,
go clean your room; if you want to feed your family, go to work. Our
whole life is do this for that, not just in church circles.

Barry Lelondl,
