​On Saturday morning, July 30, 2022, Gary Wright (World Renewal President and Founder) awoke with a tiny blemish on the finger of his right hand. Within 24 hours, he was in critical condition with Staph MRSA. It required emergency surgery on his hand and antibiotics along with daily dressing changes by visiting nurses for 3 months to recover. Medical professionals have said that Gary is lucky to be alive and still have his hand. Was the cause that little bug bite? We don’t really know. 
Gary shares: “I received the best of care from medical hospital healers, family, wife, and World Renewal staff. I am so grateful to the Lord Jesus. I realize so many around the world do not have access to all of the above. Thank you to those who prayed for me. My hand is looking more like a hand again. It happened so quickly, and reminded me that we must all be ready in Him.” 

​Dominic is 23 years old and has struggled with Heroin addiction for many years until embracing recovery nine months ago. Prior to moving into the Tikvah recovery house, he had attended church one time and had no relationship with God. His last overdose resulted in Congestive Heart Failure and required extensive cardiac rehabilitation. Since moving in ninety days ago, he obtained career-oriented employment, graduated Intensive Out-Patient Treatment (IOP) after fifteen attempts, paid off thousands of dollars in driver license reinstatement fines, obtained his license and then was blessed with a donated automobile!
Friends of Recovery is a Christ-centered ministry and Spiritual development is at the core. Dominic shared last week that “Something is going on inside me every time they do communion.” He said he wants to do it but wants to wait until he is absolutely sure because “it is a huge commitment.” Dominic summed up his past ninety days with us this way: “Today I am a father, son, brother, friend and most importantly, a productive member of society and no longer a burden.”
