f you are reading this you are most likely an addict or the family or friend of an addict. In any case – you already know the nightmare of meth addiction and things are bad. Really bad. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, you are looking for a way out and probably already cried out to God for help. The Bible says that in their “day of trouble” they will call upon the name of the Lord. That’s for men and women, young and old – regardless of economic, educational, or cultural status. There are many examples of men and women who called out to the Lord and – He not only heard them – but also restored them from an apparently “hopeless” situation. If you are hopelessly miserable through addiction or suffering while the one you love is destroyed, there is help. If you haven’t called upon the Lord, now is a good time to do so.

To the outsider it’s not even imaginable what a meth addict and their loved ones are caught in – but you know! It is unbelievable. It’s wicked. It is what is called “Meth Death” and you will need the Lord Jesus Christ to lead you or your loved one back to life. Meth doesn’t affect just the addict; it affects the entire family. I know. Leland Family Ministries was founded on just this premise. My son, Jason Leland, became addicted to methamphetamine or “crank” way back in 1997 and committed crimes to support his out of control habit. Finding so many others like myself – lonely and needing direction – God inspired me through faith to establish Leland Family Ministries, a ministry that has provided support to thousands of incarcerated along with their family. Leland Family Ministries connects people to the love of God and directs them to the Word of God.

In 2004, with years of experience dealing with families shattered by methamphetamine, Leland Family Ministries’ initiated the first Florida chapter of Mothers Against Methamphetamine – more widely known as MAMA – and implemented the faith-based Power Over Addiction strategy to confront the nation’s emerging drug epidemic in the Central Florida area. Mothers Against Methamphetamine believes in the power of Jesus Christ to deliver persons from the grip of addiction and to heal and restore their lives, families and the community. The program contends with methamphetamine abuse by providing caring recovery groups and resources to resident addicts and their families. MAMA also raises public awareness about the devastating impact of meth addiction thr Home :: About Us :: Resources :: Meetings & Info :: FAQ :: PSA's :: Contact Us ough educational seminars and literature.
