Kleg Seth is the guest host this week. Tim will return next week from his latest ministry trip.
Glen D. Bucklew is the director of Centrum ministries. Kleg worked with Glen during the 1980's. Glen says that Centrum is a sanctuary of peace and hope for men of ages 18 to 40 that are interested in straightening their lives out and beginning their walk with the living God. They minister to those involved in drugs and alcohol, as well as those that are sexually abused. The Centrum Las Vegas facility is located in Pahrump, near Las Vegas. They have a website at www.CentrumLV.org The men have opportunities to work in the community as well as at the Centrum "ranch", and are encouraged to spend at least one year in cost-free discipleship training at Centrum.
The men usually first hear about Centrum via word-of-mouth, and can contact them directly by phone at 775-537-1829. The men can usually get into Centrum quickly after the initial interview. Glen says he occasionally gets calls years later by those thanking him for the time spent at Centrum. Many of the men feel a sense of family in the program, which is not highly regimented. Glen then gives his own testimony, saying that he was living a life of partying, and felt he had bottomed out, when he started watching Christian TV and had his born-again experience.
Glen and Kleg met while Glen was working the crisis lifeline at Centrum of Hollywood. After that Glen went to work at Centrum full time in the Las Vegas Centrum. Kleg and Glen then discuss the opening of the men's facility in Vegas, which started in a two bedroom apartment. Centrum has always been an all volunteer ministry with nobody on salary (except for Tim, who was paid $5 per week). Tim was involved with Centrum when it first began in 1977, doing street ministry, and worked with them for about a year and a half. Glen closes the show with prayer and a few comments about the ministry.
