Rangi

Life with out violence, crime, and addiction is my new way of life. And...I like it! My journey has been a tough one, but with the right focus, the right people leading me, and the desire to do whatever it takes, I can say, I'm a new man with a new destiny. God has truly taken me from death to life. Life in my  marriage, life family, and life in my spirit.

Mike

I have learnt to take ownership for my actions, and how to take control of my anger, I can control myself better, I am more aware of my surroundings, and more assertive with others. I have learnt to hold my brother's accountable for their actions. What I look forward to being a positive role model and leader for others to follow, and I look forward to seeing more of Gods plan and purpose revealed over my life.
