Many recovery programs focus on controlling behavior: avoiding drugs, following rules, or completing a set number of days. While structure is helpful, lasting transformation requires more than discipline — it requires a change of heart. At Adua Grace & Mercy Network Foundation (AGMN), we believe that until the heart is healed and made new in Christ, external changes will eventually fade.
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” — Matthew 6:33
True change begins when individuals encounter God’s love and experience His power working in their lives. Programs that leave faith out may produce temporary improvement, but only Jesus Christ can make someone a new creation.
One resident entered AGMN openly skeptical of faith. He said, “I just came here for a bed. I wasn’t interested in church or God.” But God had other plans. Through morning devotionals, evening worship nights, and the loving witness of peers who prayed with him, he experienced the love of Christ for the very first time. Months later, he made the decision to be baptized. Today, that same man leads Bible study groups and mentors new residents, living proof that faith makes lasting change possible.

One graduate of AGMN once said: “The classes and skills I learned were important, but it was the prayer, the Word of God, and the encouragement of others that truly changed me. Without faith, I would have gone back to my old ways. With Christ, I have hope and strength for every day.”
At AGMN, we’ve seen time and again that faith fuels lasting change. When Jesus is at the center, sobriety becomes more than freedom from substances — it becomes freedom to live with purpose, joy, and hope.
