Rodney & Mary Bell Stallings

In 2019 Mary and I were both arrested for the second time on felony drug charges. We both had burned every bridge with family and friends. God intervened from those jail cells and made a way to get us both into Mission Teens. We had lost everything, and saying hopeless would be an understatement. 2 months apart, I entered SMBTC first, and Mary entered CMBTC 2 months later. We spent almost 1 year apart as God started working on each of our lives in the Mission. God used every tiny detail of the Mission to strengthen our relationship with Jesus and free us from our addictions! We both graduated in 2020, and now serve Jesus in our hometown in Trenton GA. We are teachers, sponsors, and Mentors at our local Celebrate Recovery and are very involved in a ministry called A Hand Up that’s similar to the Mission. We are forever grateful for every second God used in the Mission to shape and mold us into who we are today, with purpose, hope, love, and Faith!
