"Where do I begin? Safe Harbor has saved my life to say the least. It has given me hope when I didn't know what hope was. Here at Safe Harbor I have had the chance to find myself as a person, and Christ most of all. I have found stability and fellowship here. I love the environment. The community and the staff are great. They treat you like a human and go out of their way to help at all times. This is where I call home and that's a fact. I can never express through words how grateful I am to be here and can't wait to see what the future has in store."

"Before I came to Safe Harbor I was staying hotel to hotel. I had a good job making things for Cooper Tire. I was still with my ex and my son doing everything I could to keep them safe and happy. At least I thought they were happy. I was too busy with work I didn't realize how unhappy she was. I was smoking weed and K-2 every day. Then after a while they were gone. I got heavy into smoking trying to blanket my feelings. Soon after they left I started buying guns and selling K2. Ended up going to prison for Possession of a firearm by certain person, possession of controlled substance (14g-28g). I stopped trying to justify the possession of controlled substance because I stopped caring.
Feb 29, 2020 I applied to a few half-way houses. I didn't care where I went just wanted to get out of prison. March 4, 2020 I left prison to come to Safe Harbor. I didn't know what to do. First I called my sister and in late May I was gone on a "pass" to go get my birth certificate. When I got back to Texas my grandma (aka my mom) had a stroke and my half brother came and got her, took her to South Carolina. I thought I had got better at Safe Harbor. I was wrong. One tragic moment sent me back to K-2. I was at a homeless shelter selling it and smoking. My sister's boyfriend was no help. I got jumped by his homeboys and never went back to the house.
Aug - Sept I met up with a guy from Houston and showed him how east it was to ask people for money. With selling and panhandling I made good money just couldn't stay sober.
End of August I was arrested again, this time I went to SSP. I had time to think about my choices and how others influenced me in a negative way. Realizing that I should've stayed away. First thing I did was wrote Pastor Eric. I didn't hear anything back and wrote back weeks later after re-applying to Safe Harbor. At last I got the call to come back on Dec 18, 2020. My first plans were the same, call my sister and repeat what happened last time I guess.
I got to Safe Harbor and made the call. Instead of making plans to leave I got my grandma's number and she tried talking to me. I prayed about it and called my sister to hear her phone was disconnected. So that was God's answer to my prayers so far. Then Jon helped me apply for my Birth Certificate. 20 days later it was here - God's 2nd answer because Texas is a hard state to get anything from. Now I have an ID, BC, and SS card. I'm still working on my authority issues, even thought I know it's going to be a minute before I'll be 100% with it. I'm still trying my best to do it. As of now I do a little bit of everything around here, even the people have said things about me.
I may have tripped over some stepping stones and still am, but with better recognition of what has been my problem I can get up and continue going. I won't imprison myself in the past mistakes, I can't change them. I have released myself from the prison of my mind. Thanks to the blessing of Safe Harbor accepting me back and helping me with my walk in my life with Jesus Christ."

"Before I came to Safe Harbor my life was in shambles. I was on the wrong side of the law and my life was crazy. I used drugs, women, and everyone else. I was a selfish person. I didn't look out for anyone except myself. I got sent to prison for 3 years. Sitting there I realized that the people I thought were my friends weren't. They didn't contact me. I didn't have anyone, no parole plan, nothing. Then a place named Safe Harbor accepted me. At first I thought I was going to "fake it til I make it". But as I went through the program, stuff started sinking in. I started learning that there was other people just like me out there. That went through what I went through. I thought to myself if they can make it, I can too. My mindset started to change. They helped me get a job and I learned the value of a honest day's pay. I learned responsibility which gave me confidence. I also started church which brought me closer to God. Safe Harbor helped me with all of this & with the tools they gave me and God's blessing, I feel I have the tools to go out there and succeed. I want to thank Pastor Alexander and the Safe Harbor staff for everything. I know without them I was doomed to fail. God Bless"

For that’s where it starts, inside of me. I’m now closer to my family than I’ve ever been. Learning things I’ve never known before.

"As I have entered into the Safe Harbor program a lot has changed in my life. I trust God each day in my life. I have used crack, cheated, stole everything under the sun but Pastor Eric Alexander showed me a better way. I have let God that the driver seat. My life has changed since I've tried Jesus. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I seen so many blessings. My wife is still in my life after 28 years. My son and daughter has more respect for me now. I am happy with a smiled. I believe in Him and I am not ashamed who heads my life. He took drugs from my life, and put love and kindness in my heart. Faith each day. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. The devil had me bound but God has unchained me and shown me a better way be serving Him each day. I have a job, food, clothes, and God in my life. I am truly blessed. I am thankful for Safe Harbor. God is in this place. I've seen my life take a turn. The battle is not mine it's the Lord's. God only wants to use me for stewardship. I am happy with that. He saw best in me when everyone else gave up on me. For whether we live unto the Lord, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. I am happy and blessed each day because I have God in my life."

Testimony Tuesday: Alan Hooten
Intake pic - 02/07/2020
Current pic - 04/07/2020

"My name is Alan Hooten. I am a resident at Safe Harbor in Little Rock, AR. My being here itself is a testimony, not to mention the blessings I have received since arriving here. I made parole back in June of 2019. I was in a 309 Program in Johnson Co and started putting in parole plans after I got my results.

After being denied a parole plan 3 times to family members, I started applying for transitional housing. After about 3 months of waiting one of my family members went online to check my risk assessment status and noticed that it was a minimum risk assessment.

After being to prison 11 times I didn't understand all this. All this time I kept in the Word and everyday would be something in the Word in one way or the other telling me to wait and be still. On Feb 4, 2020 I was walking by another 309 inmate, a fellow believer that I had befriended. He pulled his headphones off of his head and looked at me and said "God just told me your blessing is coming soon". 2 days later I was on my way to Safe Harbor, where I am surrounded by a hot of people that actually care about me and I get to talk about Gods goodness regularly.
After over 6 months of waiting I feel that God made things possible for me that man could not and would not do."

"I've been to Safe Harbor the third time. My first time here was back in 2016. I was here for 6 months as a Safe Harbor Reliable driver, and was doing good but got side tracked by getting involved in a relationship that I just dove in without thinking and it didn't last long. Lost my job, all my Safe Harbor tools, sobriety, all went out the window fast; back to the pen. Came back to Safe harbor for the second time, here for 90 days and the day I left I was rearrested due to a 10 month old charge that I thought was wiped under the table. But in the process of being back to Safe Harbor for the third time, God is still deep within the protector, the provider & shepherd watching over me to keep a close eye out and over me. He keeps reeling me back on the straight & narrow with Safe Harbor. Amen. To be helped and to help through sharing & caring cause the only way to keep it is to give it away. So I now know to stay focused and keep God at the head through His servants who's over seeing on my journey to success in life. Spiritually, mentally, & as I walk physically to have my equilibrium balanced. To stay right and sober at all cost I have to plan. Proper preparation prevents poor performance. So if I stay clean & serene at all cost, & keep looking out for my fellow men as well as myself then I'll be soaring with the eagles & not the dogs. In order to fly higher in my years to come in clean sobriety & being a productive member of society. I stay prayed up when I lost my other job, dug deep in my prayer hitting my classes and cleaning up in Safe Harbor, on top of reaching out to brother Rob & Pastor Eric. Saying y'all I'm a hard worker, if any job comes up I'll do what ever. Faith without works is dead. I had the faith by praying and did the work by praying and believing & God heard my praters and put it over staff hearts to give me another chance. I won't let go. Amen"

"Safe Harbor is not a place that I wanted to come to, but it is the place that God has prepared for me that I should be restored. All the way, on the ride to Safe Harbor, I gave reasons why I did not need this place, but the parole officers refused to listen. Yet, while in jail, praying everyday at least three times a day I asked the Lord God to open the doors of my prison and put me in a place that He had prepared for me that I may do good in the land and prosper in it. That place is here, at Safe Harbor.
The first morning at praised & worship, I opened my mouth and gave Him praise and thanks. Pastor Eric heard my praise to God immediately, gave me recognition of my past help and God used him to instantly restore me into a position of use. To be used of God and this ministry.
God has since allowed me to mentor to others, lifting but keeping me humble to serve, to minister, to ministered to. I have since asked God for the direction of which He wants me to go. Praying and asking daily. He answered me with one word, "wait:". So therefore not only am I going to wait, but I will wait with patience. Being mentored by the staff that have stood the test of time, that I with patience, may be molded into a vessel of honor and keep friendship with these I truly respect and love, especially Pastor Eric and my friend Rob."

"My struggle with addiction goes way back to my father. I was raised in an alcoholic environment. When I reached high school I started smoking crack and doing cocaine. My dad let me move to Memphis, TN at the age of 14 to live with my great grandmother. She let me do what I wanted and I got away with "murder". I ran over her and stole from her, and I did not care who I hurt in the process. It taught me to not respect myself or others. It got so bad that I started to run away and stay with friends worrying my grandma to death. I was not making good grades and did not care. I would go to school to see and be seen. I started selling drugs to get high and then my grandma died. I was put on the street by my uncles and I started smoking crack even more than I had been. I went to jail all the time and just made a life out of it. I was always back and forth in and out all my life. I came to Safe Harbor to get a 2nd chance at life. They helped me get a job and be responsible. I am glad that I am here and I'm cleaning my life up and making better decisions."

"I started life in a family that was very engaged. Loving mom and father. I was, and still am a momma's boy. All my life I would cling to my momma, then one day I came home from school at the age of 13 to find that she had packed all her things and left my father. It hurt so bad to come home every day after that to see her not there. Then about a month after that I came home from school to find that my father had abandoned me as well. So I turned to meth use at a very young age cause I had realized that while high I was not hungry, so I just kept running and using. Til I became addicted in which took me down a long road of less, and more heartache and pain. I went to prison the first time in 2000, and been in and out ever since. I have over 22 years locked up, but this last time I went to SSP and I paid close attention to what they were saying. I started to read the word of God, and prayed to the bible to hear His voice, and now He talks to me every day, and has brought me down an old back road. I'm thankful for the people He has put in my path and I depend on His grace and mercy to get me through my day. Amen"

"When I first got to Safe Harbor I was depressed, suicidal and anxious. I had no idea why this was happening to me. After my intake the very next day they put me to work. I got here on 5/30/2019, now its 02/11/2020. I worked and was saving my money to leave. But in September on the 30th day around nine in the morning I had about a thousand pounds of sheetrock fall over on top of me. I broke my leg and had surgery October 14th, a day after my 22nd birthday. Rob put me to work to answer the phone and I started studying the Bible again. After sometime I became a volunteer driver. Then the next week I got on the payroll. God has truly blessed me with Safe Harbor. I pray for him to bless me. I pray for him to bless us all and continue to guide us to where he needs us so he can work through us and help others."

"When I Came here I didn't know what to do, I didn't have a plan and didn't know how to go about into building a plan for myself. I came here because I didn't have anywhere else to go. I'm 52 years old and what they call homeless. I say that because I have no home. Last year, this time, I was sleeping on the streets. I was out in the cold. Drugs & alcohol was my only friend.
The more stressed I got, the more I used. Most of my drug & alcohol use was used to forget the past or not think of what I had to face. But since I have been here I now know my self-worth. I love myself now. Safe Harbor is what I needed in my life. Through Safe Harbor I have been blessed with a good job. They also have led me in the way of rebuilding the broken bridges that I caused. I now can accept myself and my past. At the same time putting behind me what was the control of my life.
I have been drug free and clean for 6 months now, only through the grace of God and the love & care I've received in the program that is offered to me here at Safe Harbor of Little Rock.
I once was lost, but now I'm found. My thanks and prayers go out to the staff and friends of Safe Harbor, and to myself for using the tools of this program. Thanks for everything."

"I have been at Safe Harbor for 75 days, after being locked up in Calico Rock for 32 days. Although only a short time my learning experience has been immense. At 61 years of age I did not listen and would not listen to anyone but myself. Saying that I've been to prison six times, have 34 felonies. Now this time at Safe Harbor has shown me to put my trust in Jesus. I see how much love our Father has for us. I am like a blind man seeing for the first time. I never thought that our Lord could ever break my chains of the life I lived. Never even thought about changing. I am telling you if Jesus Christ can change me, anyone else will have no problem. I have a history of crime, drugs, lying, stealing, doing what I wanted when I want. Now I have a solid foundation. Upon my release, which is very short, time goes by too fast here. Slow it down. Take advantage of the love our Father puts into his children here at Safe Harbor."
Testimony Tuesday: James Allen
Intake pic - 05/29/2019

"Hello my name is James Allen. I am a 51 year old man who was sentenced to prison for 4 years with 16 years suspended, and 104 years expulsion. My crime? Well it was commercial burglary, 4 counts. The 104 years expulsion you may ask? Well that's for 5 prison sentences that add up to about 20 years I wasted doing criminal acts in the state of Florida. They signify a criminal history ranging from battery on a LEO to fraudulent use of a credit card. The card I might add was a gold international. A criminal history that signifies 356 points in the state of Florida. 356 is natural life. So thus 104 years expulsion. I moved to this state years ago because my eldest son lived here. He had never seen my face. When I came here I met my long time girlfriend Alisha, whom I was in a relationship with for 8 years. Alisha was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. As we were very close, I was afraid to leave her side. I broke into a business and stole money, so that I may maintain our home, and be with her when she left this world. She left me 2 months after I was in jail, and had another man in our home, and was amused over the fact she had gotten rid of everything I owned. She, I might add, is still alive and lives in a hotel. When I went to prison I remained there for 5 months, and actually could have gotten out sooner but as my long time live in girlfriend had moved on I had no one in this state to use as a parole address. As my oldest son had moved to Texas years before.
I had heard about Safe Harbor from friends in prison. And had sent a letter and filed paperwork to be accepted to Safe Harbor. Though my issues were not drug related, I certainly have a past as each of us do. Though I have been saved almost all my life I was a back sliding, saved sinner most of my life. This had to change. I was tired of my old life, and though I had not been in serious trouble in about 10 years I still was a sinner. I rededicated my life to the Lord in jail and was baptized.
So Safe Harbor was the ideal place for me and God guided me here. As I filed for about 10 locations, halfway houses, and this is the only place that accepted me. When I got here I was helped in every way. From fresh clothes to wear, that were given to me, to classes to help me reestablish credit to helping me with personal issues from anger to drug addiction. I've been helped with a job! I have had a great job here, almost the entire 5 month I've been here. I joined the savings plan as I could and since day one have been putting 50% of my check that adds up to almost $3400 to this date! All while helping me to learn to live as a Christian in my daily life and values. I honestly don't know what I am going to do when I leave here. Not because I have no where to go, but because I actually have multiple choices. God is so good! Is He not?
Safe Harbor has been a blessing to me. And I don't just say that. Sure we can be pessimistic about everything. Find fault in everything. But the fact is, every staff member at Safe Harbor has a history themselves and they know where you're at and where you're from. They actually care.
I honestly have made friends here I shall value the rest of my life. I thank Safe Harbor and Pastor Eric, along with all the staff at Safe Harbor for all they've done for me. And I thank the Lord most of all for saving a sinner like me.
Thank you and God Bless. God drives the car now. Amen!
This Sunday, Nov 17, I - James Allen will be one of the graduates on Celebration Sunday. I'm told by Pastor Eric the largest group to graduate Safe Harbor at one time!"

November 2019 Employee Spotlight of the Month - Program Coordinator, James Staffan
Date of Hire: 10/20/2018
"Hello, my name is James Staffan, currently the program coordinator at Safe Harbor of Little Rock. My general responsibilities are seeing over day-to-day program structure in our ministry. I am originally from the Ohio and Michigan area. I have worked with the company for about 8 years. I have a background in low- to mid level management. In my off time I enjoy playing guitar and tinkering with my computer. I also enjoy traveling to new places and hope in the near furture to travel to Europe. Working in the ministry is unlike any other job I have had ever."
What is your reason for working with Safe Harbor?
"This job must be the most rewarding job out there. I get to see a man come into our program, fresh out of incarceration, lacking much direction in his life. Toward the halfway point he is already starting to have a plan in action to what he needs to do. I'm grateful for that."

"Hello everyone my name is Courtney Kortez Barnes and this is my testimony. Before I got to Safe Harbor I was headed down the wrong path. I was drinking, smoking weed, didn't have a job, out in the streets, and since I have been here I've gotten baptized, got a job and really found some structure. Learned how to be responsible. It really feels good to have a job and be sober. Being able to do things for my kids and the staff here is amazing and very helpful. You go to want to help yourself in order to get help. I mean you would be a fool not to want help cause they are there for you and I will always thank them for helping me and leading me in the right direction. Cause without them I wouldn't have a job, I wouldn't have money. So I thank them so much for that and I'm able to keep my job when I get our and save more money. It feels so good to do the right thing. If you wanna get your mind and pockets right, come to Safe Harbor. They will help you if you want it. I know sometimes I don't agree with the rules but there's rules everywhere you go, so you just have to follow them. I just do what I am suppose to do and stay focused. I respect Safe Harbor to the fullest and am so glad that they let me come here becuase without them I wouldn't be where I am at today. They will help anybody that wants it. I can't thank Safe Harbor enough for everything they did and I will always help them in any way that I can. I will never forget what they did for me.
Thanks so much for putting me on the right track."

"After an arduous affair with the state judicial and penal system; refuge was found at Safe Harbor in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Upon arrival and following the intake process; opportunity to engage in kitchen duties and other works were provided. After a short time of performing these tasks, the director began to utilize the skills and experience displayed for ministry needs.
As a result, responsibility for the kitchen was rested on these shoulders, as well as performing maintenance appliance, structural repairs, and other tasks.
Being greeted and welcomed at Safe Harbor has provided a means to demonstrate my value, integrity, and willingness to be productive! Safe Harbor has provided a home and a future for myself when all seemed bleak at best.
Structure provided at Safe Harbor, its staff, the director, as well as Lighthouse Administration in my opinion is a God send for myself! As I have also observed this blessing work in others lives; it is a clear conclusion the Lord's hand upon this ministry."

"A season of trial"

Perception

As a kid I had always thought of God, the stars, and the things of this world. I struggled with depression, anger, and hurt. As I got older more questions came about along with new struggles. Trials came my way. Tribulations took place. I found a helper to suppress, liquor, alcohol, weed, etc. This worked as a temporary for years, but soon ended with lost love, lost family, lost life. Along with this came anguish, grief, pain... real pain not cried about sorrow. I didn't have my material, my family, or any thing in sight. That's loneliness. That left me completely by myself. So deep down I knew there was a God.

So I did the only thing I knew to do. I got on my hands and knees asking for a way. Sincerely seek and you shall find. I found, but this was not what I expected. My life changed real fast. Let's just say the word perception comes to mind. You see I don't cry over things such as simple trial or tribulation. I am blessed and this I know. I walk by faith, not by sight. I trust in the Lord with all my heart and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 14:12. There is a way that seems right to man but its end is the way to death. Proverbs 3:6. Acknowledge Him in all thy ways and He shall direct thy paths. I will walk by faith!"

"The growth that I've experienced since I've been in Safe Harbor is both humbling and gratifying. I have humbled myself by accepting the things I can't change. Things that are beyond my control, such as the behaviors and habits of my fellow brothers that surround me on a daily basis. Things like rules and program regulations that were set into place before I arrived and will be enforced even after I leave.
Humbling because I know that this system is designed to help others help themselves by transitioning back into a world full of temptation, corruption and missed opportunities. For those of us who choose to seize this opportunity and grow, the system works. It works for me because I have personally experienced growth. I stumble and fall and yet I always dig deep inside and find the strength to dust off adversity and carry myself through the growing pains and into a position of personal gratification.
Gratifying because I know that through it all there is a finish line. A point where the grip of authority becomes my own.
I always keep my eye on the prize. The prize of total freedom."

"I'm 42 years old I've be back and forth in A.D.C. for 25 years. When I got out of ADC my only plan was to get my gate check and get high with it. It's the only life that I ever knew.
Safe Harbor has helped me get the eyes to live again free and sober and to be able to live in the free world. I had no help with a ride or a job or any money and no way to get anything started. I was sure that I would just be headed back to ADC. My stress level and depression was so high that i just wanted to be back in ADC.
But thanks to Safe Harbor, I did not have to worry about those things so now I have new outlook on life to be happy and to stay out of jail. I can hold my head up high and walk with God and for that i'm truly thankful. I'm very happy with the help that Safe Harbor has given me. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart."

"So Rob came to me and said "I need you to write a one page testimony" and without hesitation I said ok. And here is why I do all they ask with no hesitation.
I grew up in prison and on the needle. Until recently I had been shooting dope for 25 years. I was a loser. A nobody with no hope for the future. Life sucked and I sucked at it. I hadn't worked for years. I have never been anything in anybody's eyes but a needle junkie.
Now I am doing better than I ever have my entire life. My body is in better shape than its ever been. I have been working and they love me at work. There isn't a day I go to work somebody isn't praising me, telling me how great I am. For the first time in my life I am somebody. I am wanted and needed and it feels good. I have a chance for a future that I never dreamed I could.
Today I am spiritually, physically, and emotionally ok and for that I am forever thankful to Safe Harbor, to God and to all of you that kept me on square."

"I've really been blessed by God and Safe Harbor. I put my trust in God to direct me to a good transitional house. I got 3 approval letters in the same week. Safe Harbor approval letter came first, so that is what I chose. After my first 5 days here I was given a job. I'm fresh out of prison and working. That's a great start.
I have a nice bed to sleep, I get 3 meals a day, nice hot water to shower, washer and dryer to do my laundry, and on top of all that I have a ride to and from work. That's why I know there is a God up above. Whereas 4 months ago I didn't have a dime to my name, now I'm in the 4 digits. So yes I have a little change I'm saving. So over as many as 3 1/2 to 4 months of having nothing to having a family, good job and money. I've also met some very good people along the way. Anyone from staff will stop in their tracks to help you out.
This is my life, this is my story."

“First I want to thank God for sending me to Safe Harbor, it is such a good place to work, worship and recover. I was lost like on the sea the tides throwing me in all different directions but there is a God and He decided that Safe Harbor was the place for me to be. I went there, the staff was great. They helped me in ways that I never thought and it it let me know that a person can care for others. They gave me food, a job, and helped me get closer to God. What more could I ask for. Just want to thank the staff of Safe Harbor Little Rock for really helping me to move on to the next part of my life and thanking God for putting them in my life.
Forever grateful, Jason Crone”

"Hello, my name is Gerry Thacker. I entered this program on February 20, 2019 from prison. I did 8 1/2 months this time. When I came to Safe Harbor I had to learn how to live without drugs and the lifestyle that I had lived for so long. I have been here for nearly five months because I don't feel like I am ready to go back out into the world. Because the structure and the program that they have here, it's been hard not to go back home to my family and kids. I don't feel that I am ready yet.
This is the longest that I have been out of prison in three years and I have begun to deal with the things that has happened in my life, like losing my dad. That is what contributed to me using drugs.
This place has taught me how to live life and overcome some obstacles in my life, and gave me the structure that I need in my life. I am very thankful that Safe Harbor has given me the chance to do that."

“I was walking by Dorm 3 the other evening and the door was closed... Instant red flag! I walked in and found the guys circled up and praying over the pizza they won as Dorm of the Month.
They didn’t wi because one or two people were bossy, they won out of group unity. That is the same unity that I just saw displayed before me, gathered together in Christ’ name. Moments like that make this job the best job ever. May we all look forward to those “worth it” moments in 2019.” - James Staffan

Picture
“Sitting at the Memphis Airport waiting for my flight to Washington, D.C. to represent Safe Harbor at a Conference on the Opioid Epidemic that is ravaging our country. This is an extreme “Honor” to have been invited by the White House to attend this Conference and cause the “Light” to shine a little brighter upon this great company that we get to serve God in and through.
My thought of the day is: “ Remain humble and thankful because humility and thankfulness prepares you for honors. Pride and Arrogance prepares us for destruction and falls. We have the privilege to choose the path we walk. We really never know everything God is working out and preparing for us. Choose God today....”
