Transition to Community - Community Profiles
My name is Duane Kraft. When I was a young boy of 7, back in the 70’s, my family moved to Pennsylvania. During this time I learned to Iove hunting, fishing and trapping. At the age of eight I completed a home study course on taxidermy. My love for artwork and wildlife continued to flourish.
At the tender age of fourteen my whole life changed and my love for wildlife and my skill with art was put on hold. I started dabbling in alcohol and drugs and they finally took control of my young life. I started doing poorly in school and my relationships with family and friends became strained. My drug addiction finally caused me to drop out of high school, when I was sixteen. I was making very poor choices and eventually prison became my home, for a period of years.
Praise God!! I have recently turned my life and will over to Jesus Christ. This has definitely been the best choice I have ever made. Through this new relationship with the Lord, the love for the arts has been renewed in my life. I am again drawing and spending time preserving animals. I am currently living in the Transition to Community Transitional House in New Holland. They provide accountability and encouragement as I am starting out this new life in Christ.
I will have an art display and some of the pelts I preserved for sale at the Transition to Community Banquet. I would love for you to come and see the art work that Jesus has again inspired in my life.
