Jamie Bueche

​I am 41 years old and I’m from Central City, LA. My wife and I have been married for 12 years and we have 2 children together.  I also have a son from a previous marriage.  I grew up in an average home and participated in scouting, baseball and church.  Early in my teenage years, I began experimenting with drugs and alcohol.  Recreational use became abuse that evolved into a gripping 26-year battle with addictive and destructive behavior.  When I arrived at APOR I was hopeless and broken.  I used up all of my resources and destroyed every relationship in my life.  On the way to the program, I signed papers that would finalize my divorce.  I was even fired the week prior to coming to APOR. Despite all of that, I walked into open arms here at APOR.  Within the first week, I felt the Lord speaking so clearly to me that my failures were not final with Him. 

Through the inner healing and discipleship phases, I realized that the way to victory was through total surrender. Not only did I lay my shame and selfishness at the cross, but I also laid my relationship down.  In the way that my marriage and my role as a father have been restored are nothing short of divine intervention.  My family and I are eternally grateful for Living Word Church and A Place of Restoration.

​My name is Brian Martin. I was born and raised in Lockport, La. I am married to a wonderful woman named Rachelle Martin and together we have three beautiful children, Taylor, Brandt, and Brock. I had never took any interest in drugs growing up or through college. As far as society looks at things I was on the right path for success. I had a beautiful family, home, and flourishing business. I thought it was everything I wanted or needed. My wife and I were on a vacation and I had a skiing accident that caused a serious injury to my knee. This accident led to eight surgeries and for the first time I became addicted to prescription drugs. What started out as something small led to a life of destruction. In a short period of time, I lost everything that was important to me: my family, career, and home because of my selfish addiction. Since arriving here at APOR God has really used my bad choices that come with a life of addiction to draw me into an intimate relationship with Him. Through this relationship He is teaching me what the important things in life are. I have always put my own wants, dreams, and what I thought success was first. Now I am realizing without Him first I can’t be the man, husband, or father that He wants me to be. I feel that He is building a strong foundation so that I can handle the wonderful blessings that he trust me with. Especially my family that I took for granted for so long. Now that I look at the big picture God used that skiing accident to get my attention to live a life in unison with Him. I am looking forward for what He has for me in the future.
