E26 - Jacob and Jon

Join Colleen "Cole" Welch LIVE on Merrimack Valley Prevention And Substance Abuse Facebook page for a powerful episode of The Empty Chair, with (2) Amazing Guests:

Jacob H. & Jon H.

Jacob was raised in a small town located in the Lakes Region of NH, born into a family of love, kindness, and religion. Being a middle child of 7 kids was an uphill battle from the start in trying to be seen and heard. He quickly found his voice in professional acting and singing at the age of just 10 years old. Music and performing became his life and identity, until one day he found drugs and alcohol. Quickly booze and crystal meth took over his life, and nothing else matter other than that next fix.

After a long 15 year battle of survival, denial, and even prison he found maybe, just maybe it isn’t all about him, and his dreams, but about how he can help others reach their dreams and goals through his Experience, Strength, and Hope.

Pastor Jon Howard, Husband, Father, Son, Brother, and Friend to many in the community works diligently to those struggling in addiction.

Jon and his wife Rachel have been working together in ministry for the last 11 years. With a great group of leaders, they planted Just Church in Haverhill on July 18, 2019, and host Celebrates Recovery, a recovery program for those in need. Jon is committed to helping others know God, live with peace, joy & love, grow in experience and wisdom and serve their created purpose.

Tune in for an amazing testimony of how our messes can and do become our MESSAGE and help others on their journey in Recovery.
