Commitment Pledge
Kathryn Bausman, Director of Justin’s Place Women’s Program

I will live my life of freedom to the utmost. I will honor my
mind, body and spirit by maintaining a relationship with
God. I dedicate myself to completing Justin’s Place
Recovery Program.

I will honor this commitment by bettering my life
for myself, my family, and my community here today.
I seek to serve Christ and ask His guidance upon my
life day by day, so I can shine as a light of hope in a
dark world.

By honoring this commitment, I am building a life free
of harmful substances and a future dedicated to
serving others and giving back the gift of freedom,
that was so graciously extended to me.
