Sarah Shaver talks with John Franich, Executive Director of Shenandoah Valley Adult and Teen Challenge (SVATC), based in Mt. Jackson, VA, offering Biblical addiction recovery and freedom from life-controlling issues. Franich recounts how SVATC came to the area and the call he feels on his life to bring the message of forgiveness in Christ to his own neighborhood. He outlines the residential program components, including personal and group Bible study and Breaking Free, as well as service to the community and giving testimony. Franich says the problem of substance abuse in the area is a huge one, but there is hope in Jesus Christ. (540-477-2575 novellafranich@svtc.info)
