While in isolation in the county jail my mother was in the hospital. Not being capable of being there for her, I was miserable with the way my life was going and tormented as where it was headed. I cried out to God in my cell and told Him I couldn’t do it anymore, to please take over and whatever that looked like, I would accept. |

The only thing I could feel was the drive and wants of my own selfish desires, I couldn’t feel anything for my wife or kid. I knew that moment I was broken. I quit my job and told my family I have to go and follow Jesus. I know with all my heart that God brought me to EMC.
Romans 8:28 This tells me that he can use all things to work together for my good and I am called to fulfill his purpose walk out his will for my life.

I was alone feeling hopeless, worthless and without purpose. I knew God wanted to love and heal me. 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us. |

I realized I couldn't stop doing drugs on my own. I was driving a semi truck and I cried out to God. 1 cor 9:27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. |

Because of my bad choices I lost my wife and kids and anybody who cared or loved me. I pushed everyone away to the point I was homeless. I didn’t care about my life. I was at a point in my life that I didn’t care if I lived or died.
Ezekiel 36:26 I am in the process of receiving a new heart. This is my life verse for 2020.

I was on the streets and nowhere to go and I got beat up. I got to the point where I started doing herion, and I knew It was going to kill me. I was gonna be found on the street dead.
Matthew 3:17

I was staying up 3 and 4 days in a row, and I was spending everything I worked to make in 2 days. I decided I needed help after talking to my parents. My favorite bible verse is Like 9:62.

D'ewart Family
Hello friends and family! I (David) had a 15-year addiction to drugs and alcohol, I had been to several programs before but never stayed committed. I wanted Jesus to save me, but I never made him Lord of my life. By God’s grace I came Evans, a 10-month regeneration program. I have been healed set free and walking in the freedom Jesus died to give me.
Crystal and I celebrated 19 years of marriage in August of last year; we have 4 children Alexia, Abby, Issachar, and Judah. God called our family to one year of family development we are now 6 months into it. This Christmas was special because we celebrated a second Christmas sober and all together under one roof. I was able to take the girls to our first daddy daughter dance we had a blast dancing and laughing and making memories. We have learned a lot about who God created and called us to be with healthy communication. Learning through our own struggles and reconciliation. We now help other marriages who are struggling through the healing process by dealing with the hurts from the past and walking in the freedom of forgiveness. Crystal and I teach Family Recovery on Sundays helping to expose unhealthy and dysfunctional patterns in families with an addict that we have overcome. This has grown and stretched us in so many ways for the future of growing Gods kingdom. I am thankful we get to do this every day! We are inviting you to become part of our story in prayer and financially as we continue to seek his will during this last half of our training. You are welcome to visit and see all that God is doing. Our monthly living expenses are roughly $800.00 a month our finances will be used for car payment, insurance, phone and toiletries. Any donation will be a blessing to our family. We are grateful to those who are already supporting us. We could not do this without your prayers and financial support. Praying abundant blessings in return. If the Lord puts it on your heart to be a support financially, please send your donations to Evans Memorial Camp Inc and make it known in the memo (D’Ewart family) please also make known if your giving will be monthly or a one time donation as this will help us know how to plan ahead. We are grateful for your prayers and consideration.In His Love, D’Ewart Family
