Wesley, a St. Louis native, recalls how his struggles with narcotics, alcohol, and a reckless lifestyle culminated in a head-on collision that left him in a coma. “That accident was my wake-up call,” Wesley says. “It brought me to Heartland and the start of my recovery.”
At Heartland, Wesley experienced genuine love and support. “When I arrived, the guys rallied around me, even putting together a suit and tie for church when I didn’t have one,” he shares. “They showed me what it’s like to love like Christ loves us.”
Now a firm believer in Jesus, Wesley is preparing for a new chapter in a faith-based work transition program in Springfield, Missouri. His advice to others is simple yet powerful: “Start reading the Bible, take it seriously, and let the Holy Spirit change your heart over time.”
