HI I'M LANNAE I CAME INTO THE PROGRAM ON JULY 5TH 2018. WHEN I CAME INTO THE WINGS OF FREEDOM I WAS LOST AND BROKEN TRYING TO FIND MY WAY AND FIND IT THE RIGHT WAY THROUGH GOD. I STARTED TO SPIRAL DOWNHILL WITH DRUGS AND IN RETURN I LOST MYSELF AND I'VE LOST MY DAUGHTER WHICH WAS A BREAKING POINT FOR ME, I HAD SO MUCH HATRED FOR MYSELF AND EVERYONE AROUND ME AND IN THE LAST 7MONTHS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OVERCOME MY HATRED WITHIN MYSELF AND TOWARDS OTHERS BY GETTING CLOSER TO GOD AND NOW I'M 8MONTHS CLEAN WHICH IS THE LONGEST I'VE EVER MADE IT AND I'M STRONGER IN MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THAN I EVER HAVE BEEN.

THE FIRST THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FATHER FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME .THANK YOU FATHER FOR PUTTING ME THROUGH SOME TRIALS THAT I NEEDED TO BE PUT THROUGH TO OPEN MY EYES. I ALSO THANK YOU FATHER FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS. I LOVE YOU.
I WANT TO THANK PASTOR DIXIE AND PASTOR JIM FOR LETTING ME TO COME INTO THIS PROGRAM. WHEN I GOT HERE MY LIFE WAS A WRECK. WHEN I GOT OUT OF JAIL BACK IN MAY OF 2019. MY HUSBAND WASN’T THERE. THE MAN I HAVE BEEN WITH OVER 25YEARS. I FELT SO ALONE AND SO EMPTY INSIDE THAT I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE BUT TO TRY AND CHANGE MY LIFE AROUND. I CAME TO WINGS OF FREEDOM IN JULY OF 2019. WHEN I WAS HERE MONTH REALLY STARTED FEELING SOME CHANGES IN ME. BUT THEN I HAD TO TURN MYSELF BACK INTO CANADIAN COUNTY TO TAKE CARE OF THE WARRANTS I HAD. I WANTED TO GET BACK HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO START MY JOURNEY WITH GOD. I KNEW IF I DIDN’T COME BACK HERE SOON TO GET THE SUPPORT I NEEDED FROM THIS PROGRAM, MY LIFE WOULD HAVE NEVER CHANGED. I CAME BACK IN OCT 2019 AND STARTED MY LIFE WITH GOD. I HAVE WORSHIPED GOD EVERY DAY AND PRAYED TO GOD EVERYDAY AND NIGHT FOR 9MONTHS TO BRING MY HUSBAND BAC HOME. THEN I DO BELIEVE GOD SENT MY DAUGHTER SARAH BLUE IN JAN OF THIS YEAR TO GO PICK HIM UP AND BRING HIM HOME. I HAVEN'T FELT HAPPIER IN MY LIFE UNTIL I REALLY GOT WITH MY FATHER. THIS PROGRAM DOES WORK, YOU JUST GOT TO WORK IT. I KNOW IT HELPED ME MORE THAN YOU KNOW. IT HAS GOTTEN ME AND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND THAT IS ALL, YOU GUYS. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. I ALSO WANNA TELL MY DAUGHTER THANK YOU SWEETIE FOR NOT GIVING UP ON YOUR MOM, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I ALSO WROTE THIS POEM THAT I WANT TO READ. IT’S LIKE WHAT PASTOR DIXIE HAS BEEN PREACHING TO US. GET OUT OF YOU AND GET INTO HIM.
“I'M LIVING FOR HIM”
I'M LIVING FOR HIM EACH AND EVERY DAY. HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR ALL, TO SHOW US THE WAY. I'M LIVING FOR HIM, I FEEL HIS EMBRACE, HE TOOK ALL MY SINS AND DIED IN MY PLACE. I'M LIVING FOR HIM, I'M CLOTHED IN HIS GLORY, JESUS IS THE ONLY ANSWER WHAT AN AMAZING STORY.
THANK YOU ALL!!!

I WANT TO START OUT BY SAYING THANK YOU PASTOR DIXIE FOR LETTING ME COME HERE TO BE WITH MY WIFE LAURA. I ALSO WANT TO THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE FOR ME. FOR 9MONTHS I DIDN’T KNOW WHERE MY WIFE WAS, ALL I KNEW WAS SHE WAS STILL IN JAIL. BUT WHEN MY DAUGHTER SARAH CAME TO STILLWELL TO PICK ME UP AND BRING ME HERE. I SAW LAURA AND I WAS THE HAPPIEST MAN IN THE WORLD AGAIN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SAW THAT SHE HAS CHANGED HER LIFE. SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE IN JANUARY WITH HER. I GOT GOD MORE IN MY LIFE THAN I EVER DID BEFORE. I AND HER WOULD LAY IN BED AND SHE WOULD READ THE BIBLE TO ME AND THEN WE WOULD SAY A LITTLE PRAYER. I REALLY ENJOY GOING TO CHURCH HERE. GOD IS GOOD.

MY NAME IS STELLA FISH! I WANT TO START BY THANKING MY FAMILY, PASTOR DIXIE AND ALL MY FRIENDS BUT A REALLY BIG THANK YOU TO GOD FOR GIVING ME A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE. I WAS ABOUT 16 WHEN MY ADDICTION STARTED. AT THE TIME I WAS STRUGGLING WITH NOT SEEING MY DAD BUT MY ADDICTION WAS TAKING OVER MY TEN YEARS I WAS SELF-MEDICATING. BY THE TIME I WAS 18 I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT. I QUIT DRINKING AND STARTED DOING RIGHT. AFTER MY PREGNANCY I MET A GUY AND MY ADDICTION STARTED AGAIN ON THE LAST DAY I HAD CALLED MY DAD THE ONLY PART I REMEMBER WAS MY DAD TAKING ME TO THE ER. THEY ADMITTED ME TO A DETOX AFTER MY DETOX MY DAD AND STEPMOM TOLD ME I NEED TO GO TOO. I CALLED THE WIN GS OF FREEDOM PROGRAM THEY SAID THEY HAD A BED OPEN. WITHIN A WEEK I CAME TO THE PROGRAM. I DIDN’T THINK THE PROGRAM WAS GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. THIS PROGRAM HAS TAUGHT ME A LOT. I HAVE HAVE OVERCOME SO MANY PROBLEMS AND STARTED GETTING MY LIFE BACK TOGETHER. I HAVE A REALLY GOOD JOB AND I MADE BETTER FRIENDS. THE PROGRAM HAS LET ME FIND THE GOOD IN MYSELF AGAIN. TODAY MARKS 6MONTHS OF ME BEING SOBER. I DID THIS FOR MYSELF BUT MOST OF ALL FOR MY SON AND DAD. I PLAN TO STAY AND CONTINUE TO BE BETTER IN THE PROGRAM, IN THE FUTURE I HOPE TO BE A POSITIVE INFLUENCE TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE STRUGGLED LIKE ME.

PSALM 40:2-3 I KNEW THAT I COULD NEVER BE THE GRANDMA I WANTED TO BE IF I DIDN’T CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT ME. AT THIS TIME I WAS LIVING IN A CHEAP RUN-DOWN MOTEL IN A BAD PART OF TOWN. I KNEW I HAD TO GET OUT OF THERE. NOT LONG AFTER THAT, I MOVED IN WITH MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND, I STAYED WITH THEM FOR A FEW MONTHS AND STARTED GOING TO CHURCH AGAIN. I WAS WORKING AT MACYS AND THINGS WERE REALLY GOOD, BUT I KNEW THAT I HAD TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IF I WANTED TO BE THE BEST ME I COULD POSSIBLY BE. SO ONE NIGHT AFTER CHURCH I DECIDED TO TALK TO PASTOR DIXIE. SO I ASKED HIM IF IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET BACK INTO THE PROGRAM. HIS ANSWER WAS SIMPLY THIS; WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. SO HERE I AM GRADUATING AND I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT I KNOW, WITH GOSD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. ON FEB 3RD 2021 MY BEAUTIFUL GRANDDAUGHTER PARKER KAYE TYERS WAS BORN. I AM A GRANDMA! AND NOW ON NOV 5TH 2021, I WILL BE BLESSED WITH A GRANDSON BY MY SON GRAYSON AND HIS FIANCE HAILEY. FIRST AND FOREMOST I GAVE ALL THE GLORY TO GOD BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM I WOULD NOT BE STANDING HERE TODAY. RECOVERY IS A TEAM SPORT. THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY THAT HAS SUPPORTED ME ON THIS JOURNEY, I WOULDN’T BE HERE WITHOUT YOU. GOD HAS TAUGHT ME THAT I NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW. AND WHATEVER COMES MY WAY. JEREMIAH 29:11 11- FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU DECLARES THE LORD, PLANS TO PROSPER YOU AND NOT TO HARM YOU, PLANS TO GIVE YOU HOPE AND A FUTURE.
IT'S FUNNY HOW WE OUTGROW WHAT WE ONCE THOUGHT WE COULDN’T LIVE WITHOUT, AND WHEN WE FALL IN LOVE WITH WHAT WE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WE WANTED. LIFE KEEPS LEADING US ON JOURNEYS WE WOULD NEVER GO ON IF IT WERE UP TO US. DON’T BE AFRAID. HAVE FAITH. FIND THE LESSONS. TRUST THE JOURNEY. 1 CORINTHIANS 16: 13-14
BE ON YOUR GUARD; STAND FIRM IN THE FAITH, BE COURAGEOUS; BE STRONG, DO EVERYTHING IN LOVE...

I'M BILL HANCOCK, A YEAR AGO I WAS A LIL MORE THAN FIVE YEARS INTO A TEN-YEAR SENTENCE FOR TRAFFICKING. I HAD JUST BEEN DENIED MY RELEASE AND WAS STILL FULLY INTO AN ADDICTION LIFESTYLE AND MINDSET. OVER THE FIVE YEARS I WAS ABLE TO CORRESPOND VIA LETTERS AND LATER PHONE CALLS WITH MY WIFE CATHIE HANCOCK. SHE HAD TOLD ME IN A LETTER THAT SHE HAD BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THIS PROGRAM CALLED WINGS OF FREEDOM. IN MY THEN STILL USING MINDSET I DIDN’T GIVE IT MUCH THOUGHT. BUT OVER MONTHS AND WEEKS TO FOLLOW, I WOULD READ, HEAR, AND BE MORE AMAZED BY THE CHANGES IN MY WIFE'S WAY OF LIFE. SHE WAS POSITIVE AND HAD FOUND SOMETHING IN THIS PROGRAM THAT I HADN'T EVER SEEN IN MYSELF OR HER BEFORE. SHE WAS TRULY HAPPY AND ASKED ME TO APPLY SO WE COULD SHARE THIS TOGETHER AND I DID. WHEN I LEFT PRISON I LEFT WITH A SINGLE BAG OF LETTERS AND A FEW THINGS I HAVE MADE, AND THAT’S ALL TO SHOW FOR FIVE AND A HALF YEARS. SINCE THEN THANKS TO THE WINGS OF FREEDOM, AND THE HELP AND ADVICE OF PASTORS AND STAFF, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO FIND WORK, LIVE WITH MY WIFE, BUY A NEW CAR, I SHARE IN THE SAME HAPPINESS I WAS SO AMAZED BY SEEING IT IN MY WIFE. THANKS TO THIS PROGRAM MY EYES AND HEART HAVE BEEN OPENED TO THE WAY LIFE CAN CHANGE ONCE YOU ACCEPT THE IDEA THAT YOUR WAY OF DOING THINGS SIMPLY DON’T WORK. THIS LEADS ME TO MY PASSAGE AND VERSE. MOSTLY BECAUSE PASTOR JOHN MADE ME MEMORIZE IT IN MY MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT CLASS. PSALMS 127:1 EXCEPT THE LORD BUILDS THE HOUSE, THEY LABOR IN VAIN WHO BUILT IT. MY WIFE AND I CAN ENJOY THE LIFE WE SHARE NOW BECAUSE ITS FOUNDATION IS BUILT ON THE LORD. AND I WILL CLOSE BY SAYING SOMETHING THAT PASTOR DIXIE HAD SAID, THAT I WILL REMEMBER THE REST OF MY LIFE, AND IT THIS. MAKE THE NEXT RIGHT DECISION! THANK YOU

I GRADUATE TONIGHT WITH SO MUCH GRATITUDE FOR WINGS OF FREEDOM FOR BEING SUCH A SAFE PLACE OF RECOVERY IN MY LIFE TODAY, AND TO PASTOR DIXIE FOR ALLOWING ME A CHANCE IN MY JOURNEY OF CHALLENGING MOMENTS. GOD HAS REALLY BLESSED ME IN SO MANY WAYS THAT I DIDN’T SEE BEFORE I RELAPSED THIS LAST TIME. MY TWO OLDEST CHILDREN HAD DECIDED NOT TO TALK TO ME FOR OVER FOUR YEARS AND LIFE JUST WAS A MESS. ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO I MOVED BACK TO TULSA FROM TEXAS WOW THAT WAS A MISTAKE TO EVER LEAVE HOME. YES, MY LIFE BECAME UNMANAGEABLE IN SUCH A FAST WAY WITH BAD DECISIONS. NOW THIS YEAR I HAVE ONE YEAR CLEAN IN JUNE. AND MY DAUGHTER ELIZEBETH IS NOW SPEAKING TO ME ON A DAILY BASIS AND MY SON BRANDON IS REACHING OUT TO ME. I HAVE A FULL-TIME JOB THAT I'M BLESSED TO SAY ITS STRESSFUL FREE AND IT'S KINDA FUN. THERE'S STILL A LOT TO LEARN BUT I HAVE A GREAT IDEA OF HOW TO USE MY 12STEP STUDY, AND A SPONSOR AND ACCOUNTABILITY, AND MY BEST FRIEND DAVID HUDDLESTON. HE'S BEEN A WONDERFUL SUPPORT FOR THESE FEW MONTHS AND EVEN YEARS THANK YOU DAVID FOR BELIEVING IN ME WHEN I COULDN'T. LOLA MY ROOMMATE AND BEST FRIEND YOU HAVE BEEN THE BEST IN MY RECOVERY AND WE EVEN WORK WELL TOGETHER. SHE HAS COME TO GET TO KNOW ME AND I THE SAME WITH HER. I'M GOING TO CLOSE WITH PSALMS 37:23 IF THE LORD DELIGHTS IN A MAN'S WAY, HE MAKES HIS STEPS FIRM, THOUGH WE STUMBLE, HE WILL NOT FALL, FOR THE LORD UPHOLDS HIM WITH HIS HAND. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SHARE AMEE

HELLO, MY NAME IS KINSLEY BATTENFIELD AND THIS IS MY HUSBAND JEREMY. THESE ARE OUR THREE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN, DAMION, WHO IS 7, LYRIK WHO IS 18MONTHES, AND WILLIAM WHO IS 9MONTHS. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING. WOW, HOW MANY MONTHS APART ARE THOSE BABIES? YES, THEY ARE NOT EVEN TEN MONTHS APART. SO YEAH DEFINITELY NOT PLANNED. BUT A GOD THING FOR SURE. BEFORE I HAD LYRIK ON NOV 1, 2019 DELIVERED BY EMS IN MY BEDROOM WITH BOTH OF US TESTING POSITIVE FOR DRUGS I WAS NOT REALLY SURE WHAT A GOD THING WAS. BUT AFTER THAT DAY GOD DID NOT QUIT SHOWING ME HIS GRACE BY PLACING PERSON AFTER PERSON IN MINE AND MY HUSBANDS LIVES THAT HELPED US GET THE HELP AND SUPPORT WE SO DESPERATELY NEEDED TO RESTORE OUR FAMILY. I WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN'S CENTER. THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A PLACE TO LIVE WHILE PREGNANT WITH WILLIAM AND HELPED ME TO MAINTAIN MY SOBRIETY AND BRING MY BABY HOME WITH ME FROM THE HOSPITAL. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I ALSO WANT TO THANK SALVATION ARMY FOR TEACHING MY HUSBAND ABOUT GOD. IT WAS THROUGH HIM THAT I TRULY SAW GOD. WHEN I GRADUATED FROM TULSA WOMEN AND CHILDREN CENTER IN SEPTEMBER JEREMY LEFT REHAB ON FOOT. HE HAD TOLD ME THAT HE HAD PRAYED ABOUT IT AND GOD TOLD HIM HE WAS MEANT TO BE AT WINGS OF FREEDOM WITH WILLOW AND ME I. HE HAD A POCKET FULL OF MONEY AND WAS SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR ME TO GET INTO THE WINGS AND I WAS TERRIFIED HE WOULD GO TO THE CASINO OR GET HIGH, BUT HE DID NOT. INSTEAD, HE CAME TO PASTOR DIXIE AND BEGGED HIM TO LET HIM INTO THE PROGRAM. DHS WAS AGAINST IT AND MADE THAT VERY CLEAR TO THE PASTOR AND WELL EVERYONE. BUT PASTOR DIXIE TOLD DHS THAT HE WOULD HELP MY FAMILY REMAIN ACCOUNTABLE TO DHS WHILE TEACHING US ABOUT GOD AND MARRIAGE. PASTOR DIXIE AND THE WINGS OF FREEDOM STAFF BELIEVED IN OUR FAMILY WHEN NO ONE ELSE DID. SO AS WE WORKED OUR PROGRAM AND TRUSTED GOD AND HIS HELPERS WE QUICKLY STARTED TO REGAIN EVERYTHING WE LOST. WITHOUT THIS PROGRAM MY FAMILY WOULD NOT BE WHERE IT IS TODAY. WE BOTH HAVE OVER A YEAR CLEAN AND SOBER AND AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN HEALTHY HAPPY AND HOME WHERE THEY BELONG. SO IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR WITH HARD WORK AND THE HELP OF GOD AND HIS HELPERS WE HAVE RESTORED ABOUT EVERYTHING OUR ADDICTION HAD DESTROYED. I'M NOT GOING TO STAND UP HERE AND TELL YOU THAT IT'S EASY OR THAT IT ISN'T AN EVERYDAY STRUGGLE. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT IT IS WORTH IT. IF GOD HAS DONE THIS FOR ME HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU. I PROMISE YOU THAT. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART PASTOR DIXIE AND W.O.F. FOR SEEING IN US WHAT WE DIDN’T SEE IN OURSELVES.

I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO START OFF WITH A PRAYER OF FAITH THAT MY MOM GAVE ME BACK IN 2008, THIS PRAYER IS SPECIAL TO ME AND I HOPE AND PRAY THAT IT TOUCHES YOUR HEART LIKE IT TOUCHED MINE, WILL YOU PLEASE BOW YOUR HEADS. GOD IS MY HELP IN EVERY NEED GOD DOES MY EVERY HUNGER FEED, GOD WALKS BESIDE ME AND GUIDES MY WAY, THROUGH EVERY MOMENT OF THE DAY. I NOW AM WISE, I NOW AM PATIENT, KIND, AND LOVING TO ALL THINGS I AM CAN DO AND BE THROUGH CHRIST THE TRUTH THAT IS IN ME. GOD IS MY HEALTH, I CAN'T BE SICK GOD IS MY STRENGTH IN FAILING QUICKLY GOD IS ALL I KNOW NO FEAR, SINE GOD AND LOVE AND TRUTH ARE HERE. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY AMEN. WINGS OF FREEDOM GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND MYSELF AGAIN AND TAUGHT ME A NEW WAY TO LIVE MY LIFE A LIFE WHERE I LEARNED TO NOT ONLY PUT GOD FIRST BUT TO SEEK HIS FACE IN EVERY SITUATION. IT'S GIVIN ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE OTHER PEOPLES LIVES TRANSFORMED AND MAKE CONNECTIONS WITH PEOPLE AND BE A PART OF SOMETHING BIGGER THAN ME AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD. GOD SAYS IN LUKE 11:23 “WHOEVER IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME, AND WHOEVER DOESN’T GATHER WITH ME IS SCATTERED. I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT I HAVE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO GATHER HEREWITH AND I'M NOT SCATTERED. ROMANS 8:28 SAYS AND WE KNOW THAT IN ALL THINGS GOD WORKS FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM, WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. GOD KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE SENT ME TO WINGS OF FREEDOM. HE HAD SOMETHING GREAT PLANNED OUT FOR ME. SO AS I GRADUATE FROM HERE TONIGHT I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO LET GODS LOVE AND LIGHT SHINE THROUGH ME AND CONTINUE SERVING HIS KINGDOM BY REACHING OUT IN THE STREETS. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK PASTOR DIXIE AND ALL HIS STAFF MEMBERS FOR ALL THEIR HELP. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN A BLESSING TO ME. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I GIVE GOD ALL THE PRAISE AND GLORY BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE.
