My name is Joshua McDonald. I am husband to my wife Stacy McDonald of 16 years, 3 children and 4 grandchildren. After 31 years of dealing with addiction and mental health issues God has restored me and healed me. He is currently using me at the Russellville Dream Center, a faith based life recovery center.

Jeremiah Stillings U.S. Air Force Medically RetiredGTH Tech Support.
Jeremiah is a dramatic storyteller who grew up in Pennsylvania to a house divided, one half Mennonite, and the other decidedly not. Jeremiah escaped, joining the US Air Force serving until the divide of right and wrong was a battle in his own mind about everything. Enduring this battle with him was his wife and two children to the crisis point of finally being medically discharged in 2008. Jeremiah found this new condition the enemy and to survive it meant many humble surrenders to doctor’s best guess of what would stabilize him. While in such a treatment, he met a man who came out of Christ’s love to check on him. Bert Schmidt. That very day changed his life, the seed of recovery was planted.
Christ has rebuilt me after a divorce, a suicide, and losing everything I thought I had, including respect, love, and acceptance.
I now stand by God’s Grace, married, with 4 adult children, and grand kids who only see the man Christ restored.
Jeremiah will be speaking on Exodus 15 The Song of Moses at this retreat.
