Arkansas Preachers to place meth under attackWhite County, Arkansas churchgoers accustomed to hearing messages about salvation and faith soon will get an earful on a more worldly subject.
Dozens of ministers will preach in their Aug. 17 sermons about the evils of methamphetamine. In the evening, the preachers and their congregants will gather at a high school auditorium for speeches by pastors and testimony from former addicts.
The events make up part a strategy by the ministers to attack the county’s meth problem with faith and prayer. "If the church doesn’t fix the problem through the power of the Lord, I don’t know that it will get fixed," said Pat Skarda, pastor of Complete in Christ, a nondenominational church west of Searcy, Arkansas.
The ministers’ campaign was prompted by the Searcy, Arkansas Police Department, awarded a federal grant last year to educate people about meth use. The $220,000 grant also is paying for surveillance equipment and research by a Harding University professor into the causes of meth addiction and its cost to society.
On Wednesday the Arkansas Police Department will hold a prayer breakfast for ministers to discuss more plans for battling meth. The department will hold a luncheon the same day for retailers so police can explain what purchases should arouse their suspicions. "We’re trying different things here," said Searcy, Arkansas Police Chief J. R. Thomas. "We want to open up new avenues of communication between the Police Department and the public."
Randall McLeod, a business professor at Harding helping coordinate the grant, said he wanted to involve ministers because "we’ve got a community here in Searcy that is spiritually minded." "We came to them with the idea, and they’ve taken it and run with it," he said.
The Arkansas state Crime Laboratory analyzed 955 meth labs last year, up from 853 the year before and 780 in 2001. Nationwide more than 7,000 meth labs were seized last year, according to a study analyzing the problem in southern California.
The drug is spreading in both rural and urban areas across the country, mainly in the South and the Midwest, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
An estimated 8.8 million people, or 4 percent of the population, have tried meth.
Police in White County, Arkansas last year sent the Crime Laboratory 37 labs, the fourth-highest total in the state behind Pulaski, Saline and Sebastian counties.
Antidrug programs by churches can exert a powerful influence because surveys have shown that preachers are an important influence in church members’ lives, said Mary Ann Solberg, deputy director of the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy.
She said churches in Atlanta, Cleveland and Troy, Mich., have started antidrug campaigns like the one in White County, Arkansas.
Little research exists on the effectiveness of such campaigns, said Rosalind Brannigan, vice president of Drug Strategies, a Washington-based group that studies prevention programs. She said many churches haven’t had active drug prevention or treatment programs because drugs are considered a "sensitive issue." "It certainly is an important topic for churches to address, and they probably need to take more of a leadership role in addressing it," she said.
Searcy police first asked the clergy for help at a ministerial alliance meeting earlier this year. At a meeting last month, about 30 ministers watched as police displayed a mock meth lab and played a videotape of a jail inmate recounting the effect the drug had on her life. "It had a powerful impact," said Steve Tanner, pastor at Temple Baptist Church in Searcy.
He said the pastors quickly reached a consensus that "the root of the drug problem is a spiritual problem" and were eager to develop solutions.
Now a five-member committee of ministers meets every two weeks at a coffee shop in Searcy called Midnight Oil to discuss plans for curbing meth use.
On Sept. 7 the preachers will hold a "prayer walk" in which they and their congregants will walk Searcy’s streets while praying for an end to meth use. The ministers have also discussed establishing a halfway house and holding group meetings for recovering addicts. In May, Tanner invited a police officer to display a mock meth lab to a Sunday evening service at his church and answer questions about the drug.
The officer stayed an hour longer than scheduled, as members of the congregation asked about the effects of the drug and how it’s made, Tanner said. Tanner said came away with the impression that "there’s a lot of people out there that may be struggling with this." Skarda said he knows firsthand the effect faith can have on a drug problem.
He said he had been divorced and was using drugs and alcohol at 24 when he attended a church revival that changed his life. "I just actually got down on my knees and asked Jesus to save my life, and I never touched the stuff again," said Skarda, now 47 and married with four sons. "That doesn’t sound believable to most people, but that’s what happened."
About a year and a half ago, Skarda agreed to allow the Wilbur D. Mills substance abuse clinic in Searcy, Arkansas to bus patients to Sunday morning services. About 20 of the patients, many of whom overcame meth addictions, have become permanent church members, Skarda said. "The people that we see, we see their lives change through God," Skarda said.
