One of our residents is Chris. “I came here a shell of a man,” said Chris, who arrived at our training centre, Mattersey Hall after a troubled childhood led to drug addiction, prison and homelessness. Over the last year, Chris has grown to become a mentor at Mattersey. Healed of past traumas, with an amazing faith in Jesus, Chris has gained all the tools he needs to go and make a difference, including qualifying with an NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care and completing an internship as part of the team at Mattersey Hall. Chris left Mattersey on 7th August, “I came with nothing, but after 365 days of persevering with God, now I’ve got hunger and I’ve got a drive. I’m leaving with everything I could possibly need.” Chris is off to make a difference working with a ministry in Scotland, and best of all, is getting married on the day he graduates from Mattersey!
After a traumatic childhood, filled with abuse, Steph struggled with mental illness and selfharm. “I didn’t have any care for my life or where I was going.” Steph was in and out of rehab from the age of 19, and that’s where I gave my heart to Jesus, “I realised that I could have a life of freedom and be healed from everything, and God could use me to help others.” Steph was on a mate’s sofa and met one of our Partners Caroline [from Amazing Grace Spaces], who took her in. “This is a good place of having independence but having that support. My heart now is for the homeless, the addicts, the prostitutes. I have so much love in my heart for broken people because of how broken I was.” “For me, getting to love people that are really struggling is the best feeling in the world, getting to see them find Jesus, accept Jesus, it’s amazing.”
