Holgate Speaks to No Longer Bound in Atlanta


SEC sports writer and motivational speaker Jay Holgate was a guest speaker for No Longer Bound in North Atlanta last week. The event was held on campus in the dining hall which became a SEC decorated facility with pre-game music and a promotional video highlighting Holgate’s journey following SEC football.


The theme of the night was a Champions Club Meeting, and the men were treated to a steak dinner by the parent organization. There was a sign at the door with big letters indicating Champions Club Meeting and each man had to walk across a winners line taped to the floor.


The success of No Longer Bound has been phenomenal and is ten times better than the national average for recovery centers. The focus at No Longer Bound is not just a man’s sobriety but making him into a disciple of Jesus Christ. The organization is funded primarily by citizens donating their cars, trucks, boats and RV’s. There is a major advertising effort on the radio to encourage people to give away older vehicles to the charity. Donations are accepted year around.


The non-profit organization also has a community closet, a greenhouse and printing services which all help pay the expenses of a full time men’s ministry dedicated to the rehabilitation of alcohol and drug addicts. For more information about No Longer Bound or to make a donation, call Mike Harden at 770-886-7873.
