Greetings!
T. Carlos (Tim) Anderson is a Texas pastor who authored the book, There Is A Balm In Huntsville*, telling the story of a young man who was one of the earliest graduates of the Bridges To Life program.
As part of his research into what BTL is all about, Tim attended a BTL graduation in 2017 at the Halbert Unit in Burnet. This excerpt is from a blog post Tim wrote about the testimonies he heard that night:
xxxxxThe final speaker of the evening lowers her head and fights back tears
xxxxxlike so many before her. She then gazes up to the ceiling and takes a
xxxxxdeep breath. In a voice quiet, yet saturated in determination, the
xxxxxwoman speaks the following words of profound self-understanding:
“Because of this program, now I remember who I am.”
xxxxxBy this time, I’ve come upon an eye-opening realization myself. I
xxxxxsee that what these women are sharing, straight from their souls,
xxxxxis the most beautiful thing I’ve witnessed in some time. The women
xxxxxthis night remind me that what binds us together more than anything
xxxxxis the common humanity we carry inside. The healing power of
xxxxxshared story and testimony make a new way forward, for bearer
xxxxxand listener alike.
Sharing our stories is how Bridges To Life has led thousands of men and women to the path of remembering who they are. With your prayers and support, we will continue to do so for many years to come.
Gratefully,
John Sage, Founder & CEO
and Jim Buffington, COO
