Mardinia Found “A Way Out”

This precious woman developed a drug habit in high school. A long curvy road lead her to topless clubs and then to the streets of Memphis as a prostitute.

She called CCV to ask for help through the “A Way Out” Program. She came into the program for a short time and then slipped back to the streets and drugs. She called a second time for help and was told by Carol Wiley, the Director of Victim Assistance, that the only way she could re-enter the program was to first go into a residential program out of state, because she had too many street connections in Memphis. She agreed and CCV paid for the director to personally fly with Mardinia to Minnesota to place her in Teen Challenge. Carol, the mentors, and Mardinia’s friends in “A Way Out” kept close touch with her by letters and phone.

This past May, Carol, was privileged to travel back to Minnesota to watch Mardinia be graduated from Teen Challenge. Her changed life and graduation are truly miracles. She has been reunited with her mom, her dad and her children. She hadn’t seen or spoken to her dad in more than four years. Last, but certainly not least, while in Teen Challenge she became convicted that she was to go to Elim Bible College. She is now a student there and CCV is helping fund her tuition.
