Addiction cost Julia Wike a lot
in her life. She didn't know
there was help available
when she was addicted. She
recognizes that there is a major
drug
crisis now in Warren and
throughout the Mahoning Valley.
She's ready to provide help, one
woman at a time.
In the heart of Warren --- hope
is coming to fight drug
addiction.
God's Refuge House is getting
some final touches.
10:11:13 GOD IS ALREADY HERE,
HE'S
WAITING FOR THE WOMEN. Julia
Wike was getting her first tour
of
the renovation taking place. The
rooms still need furniture and
final
touches, but she expects it to
be open in August.
19:15 :06 Julia Wike We're
believing that when a woman
lives
here they're gonna know and
they're gonna be set free from
why they used.
Julia took ONE pill when in
junior high and got hooked. Her
addiction lasted until
she was saved from the streets
31-years ago.
She knows what it takes to
recover and that change is
possible.
23:30 :12 Julia Wike we want
people to see what we're doing.
and we want people to know god
is with us and this is a god
thing. and we want to
enhance the city. we want to see
change in the city. Julia says
God's Refuge House will be a
family home, not a facility.
It will even serve people who
don't go to church. Two men on
the recovery road have done a
lot of the work.

Refuge House volunteer
it's actually done a work in my
life as well. the house is kinda
doing what it's
supposed to do already. it's
given so much meaning to what we
do.
The house will find a way to
teach women how to escape their
personal
addiction...individually and in
a group. It plans to address
the physical, mental
and spiritual issues....to
provide the hope the women need
to beat the addiction.
37:28 :09 Valeria Johnson/God's
Refuge House volunteer we wanna
see them find that light. once
they find that light that comes
from within that
god put there. i'm just looking
forward to that, seeing them
walk out of here a whole
new person. [E15]20170531 GODS
