One of the Best Programs

-By Jay Caffee, Grafton Reintegration Center

The Character Development program is a 40-week class that consists of four modules, broken down into 10-week increments. Each module deals with 10 different values and ways to apply this knowledge to life. Each week the facilitator, Bill Holko, has one class member read aloud about the current value. Next, we have an open discussion, giving all the chance to express something from the text that stood out to them. We then complete a self-evaluation and action step. Every class member rates himself from 1-10 on how well he believes he displays the value, what benefits he believes he will obtain by raising his rating, and what specific action step he will take to grow. Additionally, he identifies a person in his life who demonstrates that value.

I am currently in week 24 of the program, and it is helping me a lot. Not only am I learning how to use these values in life, but I’m becoming a better decision-maker, as well as a better person. I believe the overall goal of the program is to teach us that our thoughts become our actions, our actions become our habits, and our habits become our destiny. I can honestly say that this is one of the best programs I have ever been a part of, and I’m sure the rest of the class feels the same way. I would like to thank True Freedom Ministries and Bill Holko for providing this very helpful and beneficial program.
