We reconnect, reunite and restore men back into their communities and revive hope with the blessing of a safe place of refuge.
We support the journey to self-sufficiency and family reconciliation by providing a faith-based, drug and alcohol-free living environment for men who are on parole or who have reached maximum sentencing.
Growing up in a Christian home with an abusive pastor as a father, had him searching for acceptance and love in gangs. He was sentenced to prison for manslaughter and the victim's family sought revenge, killing his own brother. Now as a "man of God," Matt openly shares his story which united him with his victim's brother and sister.
