A series of bad choices led Brian to the streets. It was chaotic and destructive, and Brian was desperate. “I didn’t see much point in life, and I didn’t think I had many options,” he said.
After a day of heavy drinking in Trafalgar Square, Brian was at rock bottom. He woke to find his trainers and trousers had been stolen. With nowhere else to turn, Brian arrived at the doors of our Webber Street day centre for people who are homeless. Brian received clothes and hot food. He came again. He found kindness and care. He listened to the gospel talk. And things began to change.
“The way they broke down and opened up the Bible story, it just made sense,” said Brian. “A mountain started shifting. I started dealing with things differently.”
Brian went to rehab and, one day, the gospel seed in his heart bore fruit. “I knew I’d messed up, so I said to God, ‘Let’s do it your way.’” Today, Brian works in a restaurant, he’s part of a church and he’s rebuilt his relationship with his daughter. When asked about his journey, Brian smiles wryly. “Was giving my life to Jesus the best thing I’ve done? To have someone by your side all the time…” he laughs. “Yeah, I’ve made worse choices.”
