“God just takes what the world would throw away and turns it into something beautiful and meaningful.” —Marlin
“I learned a lot of very good practical things from my dad,” says Marlin. “But I also learned how to drink. In my earliest memories when people were having fun, there was always alcohol in their hand.”
Marlin got drunk for the first time at age 6. He liked how alcohol made him feel. It washed away memories of being lonely and seeing his parents fight, at least briefly. But his addiction grew. Over time he also experimented with LSD and cocaine, all while struggling with school and relationships.
His lifestyle led to several felony drug charges, jail stints, and finally prison.
Every dollar makes a difference. With as little as $5 you can reach prisoners and their families with the life-transforming hope of Jesus. Will you give a gift today?
