Hello, my name is Jordan Hall, and I graduated Shiloh in July of 2004 and then proceeded on to Texas Bible Institute where I completed their school of ministry. While I was in my second year at TBI, God spoke to me to go to Oral Roberts University. I am now a freshman at ORU and am experiencing life to the fullest. Since I graduated Shiloh, God has constantly been revealing himself strong to me. God is showing me so many areas in my life that I need to change and He is showing me such clear direction for my future. God has blessed my life in so many areas and done so many great things, that I do not have enough time or paper to write them. I am here at ORU as a theology major and am praying about going to seminary when I graduate. God is leading me in a direction in my life that I never would have dreamed of going. Before I came to Shiloh, I didn't have any type of direction in my life, since my graduation, God has taken me on a journey that has been so great, I have seen places that I would have never thought of seeing and I have been through times that only God can get you thru. I acknowledge God as my Source and my Strength and I know that without Him, I am nothing. I realize that I am not perfect and I know that I have a long way to go before I arrive at the mark that God has called me to be. Praise God for His mercy & grace!!

I am Jason Cowen and the LORD & His ministry at Shiloh saved my life. I was on a road that was leading me to destruction. I praise God for the opportunity to meet Him as LORD & Savior while I was at Shiloh. I was lost & did not know Him. He became so real to me because of the atmosphere that was all ready in place for me to receive His love & acceptance. Since my graduation I have learned to serve wherever He places me. I have been blessed with a wonderful wife who fears the LORD & loves life. My son is a gift from my Heavenly Father. I have never dreamed that this was possible. God made it a reality because I was destined to be blessed. My wife & I are currently on staff at Celebration Of Life Church in Baytown, TX. We are so grateful to Shiloh for teaching the truth of God’s Word.

I finally hit rock bottom, after a six year drug habit to meth and crack cocaine. I cried out to God & He arranged my entrance into Shiloh Ministries in January 2005. Then the true meaning of living life really began. I realized while I was there that there is more to being a man than just being born a male. The LORD used the awesome staff at Shiloh in helping me deal with life’s disappointments by leaning on Him and seeking comfort in His Word. Quitting was never an option, even when a tragic truck accident took my dad’s life six months into the program. It was God who revealed to me that I needed to remain at Shiloh. It turned out to be the best year of my life, and every year since, life has become better and better. After I graduated in January of 2006, I started serving in a church in the Shreveport, LA area where I met my future bride. God led me to a dedicated Christian woman who was devoted to Him and had a heart for men suffering from substance abuse. Although Satan kept trying to drag me back to my old life, God constantly reminded me that He had changed me and that I had His power to overcome any of Satan’s attacks. In December of 2006, I returned to Shiloh to have Pastor Rocky perform the marriage ceremony in order to marry the woman that God handpicked just for me. Two months into our marriage, God opened up the door to start my own business. In February of 2007, I became the owner and sole proprietor of my own lawn care service. God led me to Luke 8:8 “where seed fell on fertile soil producing a return of a hundred fold”. That’s where I believe the seed fell on me when I was at Shiloh, so I chose to name my company “Fertile Soil Lawn care”. God gives me the chance to witness to a variety of people from every kind of lifestyle, and He continues to bless my business, expanding beyond lawn service to landscape and irrigation systems. God has even begun to use me to teach a Bible study class to recovering addicts on Wednesday nights. Contributions and generous donations to Shiloh makes lives like mine a reality. Please keep Shiloh, the men there, as well as the staff in your prayers. They are in the life-changing business. - Clint Maynard

My name is Cliff and this is my wife, Melissa.  I would like to share with you what God has done and is doing in our lives.  Our lives have changed so much after I graduated from Shiloh in June of 2007.  After graduating, I got hooked in with our church in  Sealy, the All Around Cowboy Church where we are members.  We faithfully serve our Pastors Sonny and Gloria Rice.

When I graduated from Shiloh, I did not have a vehicle to drive.  God has since then blessed me with 2 trucks.  I was blessed with a Ford F150 a month after graduating.  This truck meant I could get to and from a job.  Then I needed a bigger truck for my tools, so I started praying and believing for one.  One Sunday after church I spotted a Ford F350 in a yard for sale.  I told God that I wanted that truck.  I went by there later that day and test drove it before church that evening.  The owner wanted quite a bit for it and I made them an offer and they agreed.  I did not have the money, but a neighbor told me if I ever found the truck I needed, he would loan me th emoney for it interest free.  I visited with my neigbor and the deal was done.  Praise God!!!  I also helped my neigbor to pay off the truck.  Who in their right mind would do this for some one who couldn't even keep $5 in their pocket cuase it would be spent on drugs.  Only God would, cause I can be trusted with little and He will bless me with much.  Plus we are tithers and givers.

My wife and I also serve our Pastors by helping with the sound and videoing at our church.  Pastor Sonny asked me a few months ago to be his Armour Bearer, and I am honored to server him.  He has recently asked me to pray about being ordained.  Praise God!  I have only dreamed of being ordained.  I'm really excited about this because I know that I will Pastor a church one day as it has been prophesied over me.  As you can see, there is life after addiction as long as you have a desire to change.  The change starts within your heart.  I thank God for Shiloh, it was a refuge for me to come to, that taught and helped me change.  Thank God for Pastor Rocky and Mrs. Debbie, who gave up their lives to help change the lives of others.  If you will give God an opportunity in your life, He will change your life and make it better, not just good.  God will do the same for you as he did for me if you let Him.  God is a not a respector of persons like man is.  Thank you and God bless you.
