🎓 Congratulations to Joshua James for graduating from Newman House Recovery Centre!
When Josh first came through our doors, he was trying to figure out who he was again. Today, we're celebrating not only his graduation, but the man he has become.
What started with Josh serving as an intern with the keys to the meds, and a couple night shifts quickly became so much more.
He began helping the men as their case worker, stepping into day-to-day operations, working through budgets, solving problems, and becoming the kind of guy we call a “make it happen” guy.
Along the way, God has continued to restore what was once broken: his family, his purpose, his confidence, and his sense of who he is.
And today, his journey takes another step forward.
As of his graduation, Josh is stepping into the role of Director of Operations at Newman House, serving on a volunteer basis.
And this isn't his only new chapter.
On October 14, Josh will also begin a new role as Senior Director of the two YMCA locations in Moncton.
From a man who once didn't recognize himself in the mirror, to a graduate, a father, a leader, and someone now using his gifts to serve others; this is what redemption looks like.
Josh didn't just walk through the program.
He found purpose on the other side of it.
We're incredibly proud of you, Josh. Your story is still being written, and we believe the best is yet to come.
Congratulations, Josh. ❤️
This is recovery. This is redemption. This is restoration.
This is Newman House.
