We are underway with translating our Pastor's Guide to the New Testament into Swahili! The initial translation is done (thanks to Google Translate!), now Pastor Joshua Mphuru with .africa in Tanzania is taking Google's translation and adapting it for the local Swahili speaking pastors in Africa!

Thank you Lord!

Co***ne Addict & Convicted Felon to Peer Recovery Advocate & Coach
God's story of redemption for Ben Deeb on this latest Apostle Talk Interview.

Live now: https://ironsheep.org

Once trapped in severe co***ne and opioid addiction, and around 15 arrests—including time in Saratoga County Jail—Ben hit a turning point when faith met him in that jail cell. Today, as a quad-certified peer professional (CRPA, CJSR, PSP, CARC) and Center Staff Supervisor at Healing Springs Recovery Community & Outreach Center, he's transforming lives by pioneering MAT programs, recovery units, peer support, and reentry services right inside the jail. Helping incarcerated people break free from addiction cycles and find real hope.

This isn't just a story—it's proof that no one is too far gone for God's grace and that recovery is possible with the right support. If you're struggling, know someone who is, or passionate about faith-based recovery and justice reform, watch this inspiring interview now on our website: https://ironsheep.org

Dave Bigler had Ben Deeb into the studio tonight for the next interview. Benjamin Deeb has been mightily used by God to change the local and state prison systems as they relate to drug and substance rehabe of incarcerated individuals. Look for this interview in mid to late January.
