- 0:37Speaker 2: our community with those who... Maybe struggling with addiction. Yeah,
- 0:43Speaker 2: coming out of prison, treatment centers. And they come here
- 0:46Speaker 2: and they find hope and they find freedom. And they
- 0:49Speaker 2: really find what family.
- 0:50Speaker 3: Is really all about. So it's amazing.

- 1:02Speaker 3: From 5 to 9. Come.
- 1:04Speaker 2: This is all about the community. We just want to
- 1:06Speaker 2: celebrate with you. We'll have bouncy houses, snow cones, guest speakers,
- 1:13Speaker 2: some testimonies from guys who have been here who are
- 1:17Speaker 2: now living a successful sober life. So that's going to
- 1:21Speaker 2: be encouraging. And just opening up the doors to the
- 1:27Speaker 2: community for tours and just to introduce ourselves and, yeah,
- 1:32Speaker 2: be a part of what this great city has to offer.
- 1:35Speaker 1: That is awesome. Washed Clean, again, 10-year anniversary, and it's
- 1:38Speaker 1: Washed Clean Addiction and Recovery Ministries. You guys have been
- 1:41Speaker 1: here 10 years, and we were chatting ahead of time.
- 1:43Speaker 1: You've helped somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 people. And again,
- 1:47Speaker 1: we don't have an exact number, but pretty close to that.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Either way, no matter what that number is, that's a
- 1:51Speaker 1: very impressive number, Craig.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been amazing. When people come here, they're like, man,
- 1:56Speaker 2: I never imagined a place like this even exists.
- 2:01Speaker 3: They just find.
- 2:03Speaker 2: authentic, you know, people actually in sobriety ourselves that are
- 2:08Speaker 2: really just giving us away. So it's a really, really amazing.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Place to be a part of. And we were in
- 2:16Speaker 3: Rosebud last night.
- 2:17Speaker 2: So we've had probably a thousand people through our doors
- 2:23Speaker 2: that actually stayed here as residents.
- 2:25Speaker 3: But we've reached.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Tens of thousands of people last night. We were in
- 2:29Speaker 2: Rosebud last On the reservation over there, there was probably
- 2:32Speaker 2: 150 there, and I got to share my testimony to
- 2:38Speaker 2: those folks over there. So it was really an amazing
- 2:40Speaker 2: turnout and really a great response over there as well.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I love that. So again, the event this Saturday, the
- 2:48Speaker 1: 29th of August, it starts at 5 p.m. It's on
- 2:50Speaker 1: the corner of 15th and South Blaine. And the location
- 2:53Speaker 1: that you're doing this, this is one of the Wash
- 2:55Speaker 1: Clean Ministries homes, right?
- 2:57Speaker 2: This is on our campus. Yeah.
- 2:59Speaker 3: So it's going to be a really great time.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Come to the Blaine, 900 South Blaine. That will be
- 3:05Speaker 2: the entrance we'll be using. There's a driveway there. There
- 3:08Speaker 2: should be a sign there. And then just come through
- 3:10Speaker 2: that way and we'll be in the back parking lot
- 3:13Speaker 2: behind all of our properties. We have four properties on
- 3:15Speaker 2: this block.
- 3:16Speaker 1: That is fantastic. Now, we also have an event next Wednesday,
- 3:20Speaker 1: Rare of Breed. We've been sharing that. That's going to
- 3:23Speaker 1: be an amazing event. That is not at this location.
- 3:25Speaker 1: That is at the South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance, and
- 3:28Speaker 1: that's a whole separate event, but you're doing two big
- 3:30Speaker 1: things within a week, so you guys have got a
- 3:32Speaker 1: lot going on right now.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I just got off the phone.
- 3:36Speaker 2: We have a group coming from Rapid City, another organization
- 3:39Speaker 2: that we work with. They're bringing nine of their gals,
- 3:42Speaker 2: so that's pretty cool. uh, they're going to make the trip, uh,
- 3:46Speaker 2: and then turn around and head back. Um, so they
- 3:48Speaker 2: were really excited about this. And so are we, um, um,
- 3:53Speaker 2: Rob is just such a personal, relatable guy. He's been
- 3:57Speaker 2: on a journey himself of healing and wholeness, um, from,
- 4:00Speaker 2: from past. And, uh, it's going to be an amazing,
- 4:03Speaker 2: what a better, couldn't pick.
- 4:04Speaker 3: A better venue. Of course, you know, John, the Alliance
- 4:07Speaker 3: is just really set up, uh, for these type of events.
- 4:12Speaker 3: So it's going to be amazing.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Absolutely. Again, that is coming up next Wednesday. I'm going
- 4:17Speaker 1: to share the information about both of these on our
- 4:19Speaker 1: Facebook page, and I just don't want people to get
- 4:21Speaker 1: confused and go to the wrong place on the wrong day.
- 4:23Speaker 1: So before you head off to go to either of
- 4:25Speaker 1: these events, make sure you're going to the right place.
- 4:27Speaker 1: This Saturday is, again, at the Wash Clean Ministries campus,
- 4:31Speaker 1: and then next Wednesday is at the South Dakota Military
- 4:33Speaker 1: Heritage Alliance. And Two completely different events, but again, a
- 4:37Speaker 1: big celebration. Couldn't pack it all in one day. You
- 4:40Speaker 1: got it in a couple of days, but it's all
- 4:41Speaker 1: in a week anyway.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Yeah. September 3rd is actually my 10-year sober day.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Oh, nice.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Yeah, so 10 years of sobriety, and yeah, it's just
- 4:51Speaker 2: been amazing.
- 4:52Speaker 1: I love that. Well, Craig, thank you for doing what
- 4:54Speaker 1: you do, and think of the impact you've had over
- 4:57Speaker 1: the last 10 years on thousands and thousands of lives.
- 5:00Speaker 1: That's got to make you feel really good.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Amen.
- 5:02Speaker 3: It's great. Doing what God's called me to do.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Absolutely. If somebody listening is going, you know, I could
- 5:07Speaker 1: absolutely use a little helping of this and they would
- 5:09Speaker 1: like to get some help. What is the first step
- 5:11Speaker 1: for them to get some assistance at Wash Clean Ministries?
- 5:13Speaker 3: Yeah, go to our website, washcleanministries.com.
- 5:16Speaker 2: You can apply there, get information there. Our phone number
- 5:19Speaker 2: and contact is all there. We'd love to hear from you.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Maybe you're just looking for an organization to support as well.
- 5:26Speaker 2: I'd love to share more about what we do and
- 5:28Speaker 2: what our annual budget looks like. Our community, we need.
- 5:33Speaker 3: donors to help us.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Keep our doors open so we can continue to help
- 5:37Speaker 2: more people as well.
- 5:38Speaker 1: There you go. And another way you can help with that,
