00:00Hi, I'm Rick McMillan. I'm the pastor here at Total Freedom. This is my wife Robin, and we've come here from the States back in what, September, huh?
00:08Yes.
00:09Kind of give people an idea of why we're here and how we got here.
00:12Okay. We are Total Freedom. We're a nine-month alternative addictions program.
00:17I went through the program myself in Florida in 2008 and was set free, and here we are.
00:24And this weekend, we're having our grand opening.
00:27One reason that we're here is because we want to be able to help people get set free from any addiction.
00:34We call them destructive lifestyles.
00:37And with Robin and I having went through the addiction scenario, both of us,
00:42and then, of course, losing a son to addiction in an overdose situation.
00:57So we're happy to be here. It's been a blessing.
01:00We've had great associations with people that, when we came here, we knew no one.
01:06We knew two people. We knew Mike, and we knew Bridget, his wife, from Glory to Glory Ministries.
01:12But it has been a great opportunity for us to meet people.
01:18The people of Manitoba have been overwhelmingly generous and friendly to us.
01:25And so what we want to make sure is that whatever we do, we give back.
01:29And so we're here to help in any way we can.
01:33We've become associated with the Chamber of Commerce there in Austin.
01:37And we just want to be not only an outlet for people that anyone that has a family member
01:45or maybe have addiction problems, we're here for them.
01:50And so that's why we're here, and that's why we're staying.
01:53And...
02:13They can go to our website, if they have access to a computer, at TotalFreedomManitoba.com.
02:19There's lots of information. There's a Q&A area on there.
02:24And if they're interested and they think that this might be a good fit,
02:27they can complete the application right online.
02:30And then we get it and schedule a telephone interview.
02:34Or if they're local and they want to come and take a tour, they're more than welcome to do that.
02:38And then after we do the telephone interview, we pray about it, make sure it's a good fit for everyone,
02:45and then schedule an admission date.
02:49You know, so many people, when they go into an addiction scenario,
02:54they're always looking for the next rehab.
02:57We want to be their last rehab.
02:59Because from now on, it's going to be totally different.
03:02And that's the way we approach it.
03:04We don't care about their past.
03:06We just focus on their future.
03:08I asked one of our disciples who's here, what's the difference this time?
03:12He's been through several, several secular programs.
03:17He's been through detox more than 10 times.
03:20He's been through many Christian programs.
03:23And he said, word for word, this is the real deal.
03:27This is where you find total freedom.
03:30We see the results.
03:31I mean, it's incredible to watch people come and be changed and set free.
03:36We've been doing this now for over nine years between Florida and New York and now Manitoba.
03:41So we're just super excited to see what God's going to do here in Sydney.
