From our Director James Ingerham:
First, I would like to share God's glory with what He has done in my life.
I went from going to college on a football scholarship, raising a family, and owning my own business... to becoming a crack addict, alcoholic, and homeless on the streets.
After several years of living this chaotic life, I ended up in jail on drug charges. It was during my time in jail in 1998 that I gave my heart to Jesus.
Because of God's love for me (in spite of myself), He led me to a ministry called The Refuge. It was during my time at The Refuge that God used my Pastor, Tom Thompson, to birth the vision God had given me of a place called Jericho's Light Club.
To God be the glory!
