fter years of drug addiction that alienated Levi Millington from his wife, his family, himself, and God, Levi has found exactly what Reconciliation Ministries hopes to offer: help onto the path of reconciliation. Millington followed Reconciliation’s three-phase discipleship program, and now he testifies to healing and wholeness in Christ. As part of the Phase 3 requirements, Millington is now helping Reconciliation’s ministry team, walking alongside others like himself as they experience deliverance from addiction to a new life in Christ. “I'm so passionate because my life was a mess,” Millington says. “[Being at Reconciliation], it’s been so fulfilling and so rewarding. It's the hardest, most awesome thing I've ever done in my life.” Based in Columbia, South Carolina, Reconciliation Ministries is a 15-month, residential, Christian discipleship ministry that serves people like Millington who are struggling with substance abuse. The ministry community helps people dig below their addictions to address the root cause: their separation from God.
