Nate Bancroft came through the Christian Life Program at City Union Mission’s Opportunity Farm, in Warsaw, MO.  He is just one example of a man whose life has not only been changed but who is now helping others to find hope and recovery through Jesus Christ.

“Since I have left the farm God has continued to bless my life in amazing ways. Next month I will celebrate two years clean and sober, and I am still smoke free too!  I am very active at my church, Allen Street Baptist Church.  I help lead Celebrate Recovery, and I help take a meeting into pathways in Clinton on Mondays.  It is exciting watching God work in other peoples’ lives like he has in mine! I am studying to become certified in Biblical Counseling, am now co-owner of the family business, and I own my own home!  I have been blessed with a girlfriend who fears the Lord.  And if that’s not enough God even preformed a miracle in my life!  When I was at the farm I tested positive for the hepatitis C virus. When I left the farm I went to see a specialist to have a plan of treatment worked out. When he got the results from all my blood tests the virus had mysteriously vanished. Well it’s not a mystery to me. It was an answered prayer.”
