Dear Mel,
I am sorry to hear of your recent run in with the law and your battle with the “bottle.” I know those experiences well and wrote about them in the book I recently sent to you entitled, “Once Life Matters: A New Beginning.” You acknowledged receipt of the book and sent me back an autographed photo and lovely
card. Thank you.
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. Your fight with addiction seems to be getting the best of you and I would like to suggest you seek treatment right away. I write about a terrific program in south Florida entitled,
Dunklin Memorial Camp. No, it is not a Betty Ford “30 day” temporary fix-it. It is a full-blown residential program using Christian principles.
Mel, you confess to being a Christian. The world is looking at you right now, brother. You have a big choice to make as to how you are going to address your problem. A lot is riding on your decision. I honestly and truly believe
Dunklin Memorial Camp is the answer. Here is Dunklin’s website address:
http://www.dunklin.org. This would get you out of the limelight for awhile so you can get to the root of your addiction and at the same time be in a place God can use you and give you insights how you then can turn around and help others.
I know you have many other programs you can choose but this one works, Mel!! I have witnessed it work in thousands of people’s lives who are now drug and alcohol free, living productive and full lives.
God bless you, brother. Please know I am praying for you.

Dunklin
Memorial Church, Inc. exists as a New Testament church, and the general
nature of its purpose shall be to propagate among all people the Gospel
of Jesus Christ based on the records contained in the Holy Bible. It
also provides a community environment, biblical instruction, and work
opportunities for men trapped in chemical addiction to become new
creatures in Christ Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit and the
application of the Gospel to all areas of their lives, so that all their
relationships become new as well.
A
critical part of becoming a complete new creature in Christ is for men,
without a strong work ethic, to learn to work and demonstrate Christian
qualities in the workplace. Therefore, in addition to operating a church
for the benefit of the church members, it is the mission of Dunklin
Memorial Church to offer a regeneration ministry that combines biblical
teaching with labor in a closely supervised environment. Because the
relationship with Christ should affect all areas of work and personal
life, it is essential that men not only receive biblical instruction in
the classroom setting but also in the work place, dorm rooms, worship
center, and on the weekend with their families.
Furthermore,
it is the mission of Dunklin to develop other ministries such as
Overcomers Groups, Halfway Houses, and Cities of Refuge in new locations
worldwide for the purpose of spreading this mission of Dunklin Memorial
church to other organizations and cultures.
- Dunklin
recognizes Jesus Christ as the cornerstone of the ministry.
- Dunklin
provides a healthy environment, biblical instruction, and work
opportunities for men trapped in the bondage of chemical addiction.
- Dunklin
pursues family restoration and strives to equip each member to have
a personal relationship with the Lord.
