Newsletters If you watched the Flying Pig Marathon or read about it in the local papers, you might have seen Clyde. At six foot three and 225 pounds, he’s hard to miss. What’s even harder to miss is the smile on his face as he jogs through downtown and Over-the-Rhine each day. Running isn’t just an exercise for Clyde. It’s his way of thanking God for rescuing him from a 20- year struggle with drugs! "After all the cocaine and marijuana I did I’m lucky to be alive. Some of my friends who’ve been on the same path are dead." "I’ve been blessed!" Clyde has been through other programs, but none have worked for him like the Exodus Program at City Gospel Mission. "God has allowed me to see a lot of things and realize I’m here for a reason and a purpose." Staying in the Exodus Program has been difficult for Clyde and his family. "It’s been pretty tough because I’ve got two kids in college and another one headed for Ohio State. But my wife has been taking care of everything since I’ve been here. She has two jobs to take up my slack and that’s been hard. But it’s a real blessing that she still believes in me. I guess there’s something that she sees in me that I probably can’t see in myself." "I think God is molding me for a purpose. I want to help others who were in the same situation. But in order for me to help them I have to make a commitment to myself to stay the course."
