A Real Relationship with Jesus - Phillip
“Where I was before is not who I am now and I owe that to The Children's Home and Jesus,” Phillip said.
Phillip graduated from Appling County High School and is now attending Coastal Pines Technical College where he will pursue a degree in Criminal Justice to hopefully become a detective.
“I just want to help people,” Phillip says. “I want to help fight off the injustice that is going on in the world now and be a light to people who need it most.”
Phillip attributes his accomplishments to all of the encouragement and direction GBCH&FM staff at Baxley has given him during his time on campus.
“I dropped out of highschool in 11th grade and when I came to GBCH&FM they helped me get through school and catch up to where I was able to actually graduate early,” Phillip explained. “I was very nervous about the next steps of my life but with the help of staff they encouraged me to start college online with Coastal Pines and I have enjoyed it so much.”
Outside of his academics Phillip enjoys listening to music, drawing, and going fishing. He says that fishing brings him so much serenity and peace of mind.
“I’ve gone through a rough time here lately and the staff here have given me so much redirection in my life and I am grateful for them,” Philip said. “I was going to name them but realized it's really every staff person on campus who has made an impact on my life. I wouldn't be the same person I am today if I didn't have their support.”
Phillip has had challenges in his life where he didn’t know where to turn but after being at the Children’s Home he has a new found relationship with Jesus that he is proud of.
“I was going down the wrong path just lying, stealing, cussing, and doing what I wanted to do,” Phillip explained. “I recently had a realization that everything has a reason and purpose which showed me that God has a hand in my life. Since coming here my relationship with God has grown tremendously.”
Phillip explained that without coming to the Children's Home he never would have graduated or had a real relationship with Jesus.
“Where I was before is not who I am now and I owe that to The Children's Home and Jesus,” Phillip said.
