Doni lives on the same street as the graduate church, New Hope Evangelical Community.  For years, he has been lost in the world of drugs.  He would often say he wanted out, wanted to get clean.  But nothing ever happened.  His parents passed away some time ago, and his siblings had given up him already.  As far as they were concerned, there was no hope for Doni - he would always be addicted and enslaved to drugs.  Tired of hearing him say he wanted to change but seeing no fruit, his siblings would often call Pastor Derli and Denise, hoping they would take him off their hands.  Many times, Doni called them directly, telling them he wanted to get clean.  They were able to admit him to a rehabilitation house last year, but he didn't finish the program and returned to his life of drugs.  Not long after, he had hit rock bottom, and called Pastor Derli for the last time.  "I need to go to rehab.  I've made my decision.  I am determined."   He finished out the program, and due to his good behavior he was even appointed as the house monitor for the last month of his stay.  Yesterday, March 20, 2011, he gave his testimony at the New Hope graduate church, just one week after leaving rehab.  He shared that the place that he used drugs for the very first time was the same place he met Jesus.  He sang many worship songs, and is so happy to be a part of the congregation.
