Steph Macleod Christian Testimony

On February 13th 2006, Steph Macleod found himself in the Bethany Christian Centre; a 17 bed hostel for homeless men with addiction problems. He had previously been living rough on the streets of Edinburgh where he begged to feed his alcohol and drug addiction. Before entering the Bethany Centre Steph had broke contact with his friends and family, had been banned from homeless hostels, and was waking up every other day in hospital due to the severity of which he drank.  He was told by medical professionals that death was inevitable if he continued to abuse himself in such a manner.  Desperate but unable to rid himself of his addiction Steph found out about the Bethany Christian Centre through his GP.

Steph had once been a promising classical guitar student at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, but personal problems stemming from his teenage years led to mental health problems.  Steph found sanctuary in alcohol and drugs. These problems continued to grow and grow until they consumed him and became his sole priority in every aspect of his life.

During his 8 month stay at the Bethany centre Steph began to address his reasons for drinking and taking drugs.  It was during this time that he also found the saving grace of Jesus Christ!

Things started to change dramatically in his life.  In Steph's own word's, "I cried out to God in my darkest hour.  I asked Him to save me. I asked for a life worth living.  God answered big time!"
