description: Light has shone into the black holes of humanity. Decades of drug addiction; horrific abuse; multiple suicide attempts; gangster violence; prison; prostitution; homelessness....yet, through the power of God's love, an association of churches known as Betel, has helped thousands of desperate heroin addicts to be set free from their downwardly spiralling existence and experience freedom in Christ. There is hope for all of us. Humberto Fernandez, in his book, Heroin said, "Our perception of addiction as an incurable disease has not changed much. In 1930 Sirovich 'Medical science is almost powerless to redeem these unfortunates.' Today we say treatment can work, but the fact is it works for relatively few...". One wonders what Fernandez might have written if he had been to Betel.
