"...Only in the context of the great encounter with Jesus Christ \

demons.
No, it is precisely in the midst of this struggle that our Lord comes to us.

A Brief History of GRÁ
\
In 1998, Grá, a family based organisation made up of three members, \
was borne out of a desire to give to those struggling from drug addiction another \
chance of choosing to walk with God. Grá ran a series of special \
projects that involved accompanying these people on a journey in faith \
culminating each year with a pilgrimage deeply rooted in prayer.';
