Lives well lived. Productive, contributing, loving lives. Hope restored, families restored. Communities safer. We have been 100% successful at offering truth in a safe place where the bed is warm, the shower is hot, the lights are on and food is on the table. This lightens the everyday load so that those who really want to change their life for the better can focus on getting their thinking, their attitudes, their heart right and that will right their lives. God offers redemption and freedom, we offer the conduit of truth to get them there and the rest is up to them. Not all want to be made well but those that do are amazing trophies of grace...Elest, Ed, Carlton, Rodney, Darwin, Michael, Johnathon, Ricky, Patrick, Barry and many more.
Staffing to provide additional counseling. Building repairs such as facia and siding replaced, interior tile work. Community Room replaced. Driveway paved.
For 27 years we have offered a hand up residence to those leaving prison or getting free from drugs/alcohol without regard to race or finances. They learn to find employment, balance budgets, have household responsibilities while growing in an understanding of who they were created to be. With counseling, biblical studies & 12-step meetings, we confront the harmful behaviors & attitudes that have captured their lives & offer an understanding of freedom from addictive living.
We are in need of volunteers to offer transportation to residents. We are also in need of finances to compensate the home director and finance everyday operations such as gas, medical supplies, and other living expenses
