Awaken Youth Gathering
AWAKEN 2022 will be a 1-day worship gathering on Friday, October 14, 2022, focused on youth and college age students who are passionate about Jesus and worshiping Him. “Seek First” will be our call this year from Matthew 6:33… “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
In contrast to a world that bombards us constantly to get our attention, God calls us to be SEEKERS. Event host Darin Rihanek will be talking to us about Kingdom Culture and what it means to “seek first the kingdom of God.”
Held at Heartland Community Church, 6434 Shelby Co. Rd. 150, Bethel, MO 63434

Recovery Staff Highlight – John Grawe
“God will meet you where you are, and He’ll give you the strength. But make no mistake, He didn’t say it was going to be easy.” That is the kind of straight talk you’ll hear from Heartland Recovery Director John Grawe.
John experienced addiction and recovery in his own life — from meth addict and full-blown alcoholic, to now living his life helping others find freedom. “We see miracles every day,” says John. But “none of this works without accountability… God did not make this so we would do it by ourselves.”
Are you in need of a change and the accountability to help make that happen? Our mission at Heartland Recovery is to seek out those who are suffering and provide a refuge for healing.

Walking Through Recovery: Ethan Reed’s Story
“I surrounded myself with people who showed me what I was missing, and that group ended up being gang members and people who loved to party.” This led to Ethan’s many years of struggling with addiction until he had a moment of clarity when his daughter came into the picture. “You can’t be a father the way you are now…” a voice in his mind told him.
“I didn’t believe God existed before I came to Heartland,” recalls Ethan. “Since I gave my life to Him, I’ve gained things I never had before… It’s amazing to have that kind of love in your life that you’ve been missing this whole time.”
Ethan encourages others that no matter what you’re facing — pain, anxieties — you’re not alone. If you’re ready to seek help, contact Heartland Recovery today. “There is always hope.”

Walking Through Recovery: Tim’s Story
Recovery is a process. Even though a twelve-month program may sound like a long time, for some it may be just the start of their recovery journey. Tim knows what it’s like to be stuck in addiction and living a criminal lifestyle. He first came through the Heartland Recovery Program in 2015, but says, “I didn’t really ever surrender my life to the Lord… when I left here I got right back into addiction.”
This time around, though, Tim realizes what a difference it made to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and accountability to others. “Living your life in surrender, you don’t have to carry that burden of messing up…there are people God puts in your life to help you.” He encourages others to seek that new way of life too.
