Matthew's testimony*
“I spent 14 years in prison and was a broken man, I was traumatised. I needed a lot of intervention. I found Jesus but I needed people alongside me, people who weren’t going to judge me, people who were going to help build me back up. For whilst God is the one who does it, he does it through people. I would recommend the work of CPR. Why? The fact that they can deal with us when we are at our worst and in a non-judgmental way. Build us up, love us, and also challenge us, for these reasons, yes 100% recommend the work of CPR.”
