We are so excited to share an exciting update! We have expanded our Mission to "Save Our Sons", to the beautiful State of Georgia.

 Look what the Lord has done!!

​

We have purchased a beautiful new Campus Property in Reidsville, Georgia. This location is about 28 minutes from our office in Metter Georgia. The property is situated on 8.6 acres, with a 4 bedroom 3 bath block home. This location will house up to 14 residents and 3 staff members. We have many wonderful plans for additional buildings and recreational areas for this beautiful property as God provides.

​

This expansion has been a slow building plan for many years, and it is starting to truly take form. Our Georgia team is working hard making many renovations and preparing this new residence for the men to come. Please be praying for provisions, strength and God to continue to use us to share his Love in action to help continue to transform the lives of the broken.
