In 2004 I was brought to u-turn by the Lord after being shipwrecked literally and figuratively. Praise God for Gerry and his wife for their obedience. Blessings kenton
I was in U-Turn in 2001 and gave my heart to Jesus at a Harvest Crusade that they took us to. I was then discipled thought the Word and by the ministry and successfully graduated the program. I went back home and fell and for 11 years I struggled to really live free from addiction even returning to the ranch in 2003 when I was pregnant with my oldest son. The foundation that was laid at this program changed my life and in 2012 God delivered me from drug addiction (i was FINALLY ready to surrender to Christ!). U-Turn is part of my testimony and I will always be grateful to Peggy and Jerry for the ministry they stayed faithful to run!!
Besides the two separate comments that I made the negative ones are the truth about this man and U-turn for Christ all the other comments are fake and frogs produced by his people to make him and U-turn for Christ look good Calvary Chapel needs to separate from this man you make Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa look like crap you make Chuck Smith look like a bad pastor Pastor Smith is turning in his grave. But you know damn well no one's going to do anything about it
First of all pastor Jerry Brown is a hoax and then 1990s when I was there David fetus rotten ham that was uncured from the Ukraine in the 90s this establishment started in Perris Lake California or Riverside County I remember a man being sick from a thing they called The Bunkhouse funk Beetlejuice man believe in God and he will heal you but he was so sick they took him as far as to a bus stop and told him to walk the rest of the way to the hospital because he didn't believe in God enough to let God heal him oh dear pastor Jerry Brown do you remember how we used to have to go way out in the back and dig a 5 x 5 ft deep hole because we did learn our scriptures was that a warning for that's where our bodies would be if we didn't get with your program ladies and gentlemen if you want some good rehab go to St Marys or to any cedar house Pastor Chuck Smith heard about this he would be turning in his grave I remember at night going to a warehouse with thousands and thousands of people's property that they collected to make money for themselves for U-turn for Christ Fu Jerry Brown you're another Jimmy Swaggart as if you never had shortcomings in your life you piece of s*** I remember being interviewed to be in that program your creepy intake administrator shamed me for having a little newer clothes than the other's the program. As if I was trying to make a fashion statement! I'm just a man trying to get help for my addiction. This man is a fraud or more like another possible Jim Jones in his U Turn for Christ Jim Jones Town. What a Pease of CRAP!!! OH by the way you little actor buddy Mr. JAMES AT 15 actor, you know what I'm talking about Oh pastor Gerry Brown where was his God when he was overdosing in plush hotel room in san clamminty? I'm sure Gerry Brown had something behind it!!!😮
I heard changes have been made since I went to a working ranch. I was traumatized by a lot of the supervisors behavior and actions. Zero sympathy & zero care for the person who is struggling to stay . The man who called himself a pastor was our leader, but he was not a pastor and ever was .He actually had counseled a man and his wife who wanted help to save their marriage. This pastor started dating her and they were married a year later ! I stayed because I was hungry for Jesus, and I needed to change my life after a couple of years of depression and suicidal thoughts from grief. I finished the 3 month program on the ranch that was only possible with God's help because I didn't feel like I had a word to say without getting into a argument or something.The punishments for the dumbest things that some were not in your control was harsh. I was never punished because I didn't talk. After learning the ranch, I continued to go to church and was Babtized. I asked multiple times about getting babtized there, but they were very focused on the free labor we did in the community. I don't regret it. It made me stronger. I pray that the process is not the same as it was. I can't speak for other ranches across America, only where I went. I praise God. He had a plan, and that was a small part of it. I would recommend that if you're addicted to a substance, go to a clinic or hospital to get help for a safe withdrawal before you go. I truly believe this was an isolated issue with the people who were running the program where I went.God bless you and those who went and were saved ! 🙏
I'm checking in tomorrow brother. Thanks for your testimony bro. I'm surrendering 100% to God's plan for me. I'm scared and excited to make this commitment but stories like your helped a lot with my anxiety.
I was a freshman when in highschool when he was a senior we took French together. I always hoped we would be friends as I looked up to him. Years latter I found out what happened and I prayed that things would get better for him. I wish him the best and hope that one day maybe we will meet again because in my mind he is still that nice person I knew in highschool.
I saw Romo get his fingers cut off . These people r pieces of shit they make people pay to "help them" and they get paid for the work that people pay to get into
Uturn was the best chapter in my life. I loved it and i learned so much. Thank you God for Uturn. A place where people like me are accepted and are not judged.
Ohhh this is SO beautiful! I love you Bethany! We started Phase 1 together the same day. Blessed my face off to see you married and with your beautiful new baby! In Christ love, Mackenna Ortega
He was a loving and faithful friend. He was there when I needed to talk and I miss those talks. He taught me to look up because that's where our help come from.
