We are excited to continue sharing what God is doing through Loving Hands Ministries in the beautiful state of Georgia as we expand our mission to “Save Our Sons.” Look what the Lord has done!
Our Georgia Campus in Reidsville has continued to grow since opening, becoming a place where men can find hope, healing, restoration, and the love of Christ in a family-centered environment. Situated on 8.6 peaceful acres, the property features a beautiful four-bedroom, three-bath home that now accommodates up to 14 residents along with on-campus staff members dedicated to walking alongside the men throughout their recovery journey.
Since the original launch of the campus, we have also added a new office building to better support the continued growth of the ministry in Georgia. This additional space has allowed our team to expand operations, provide greater support services, and continue building a strong foundation for future growth throughout the region.
What began as a vision many years ago has steadily taken shape through God’s provision, faithful supporters, and the hard work of our incredible Georgia team. Over the years, many renovations and improvements have been made to the property to create a welcoming environment where lives are being transformed daily through the love of Jesus Christ.
The campus also provides space for outdoor recreation, fellowship, and future development opportunities as the ministry continues to grow. We remain excited about the future plans for additional buildings, recreational areas, and expanded ministry opportunities as God continues to open doors.
We are deeply thankful for the churches, partners, volunteers, and supporters throughout Georgia who have embraced this mission and continue to stand alongside us. Your prayers, encouragement, and generosity help make it possible for us to continue reaching broken men and families with the hope of Christ.
Please continue praying for our staff, residents, leadership, and future growth as we work together to share God’s love in action and continue transforming lives for His glory.
Our Georgia Leadership
With the support of our President & CEO Kimberly Wilson-Dodson and executive staff, Loving Hands Graduate Olaf Flinkman now serves as the Program Director of our Georgia Campus as of 2025.
Olaf came to Loving Hands Ministries in December 2018 from the recovery pod at the Manatee County Jail after battling addiction for 15 years and experiencing homelessness in the Bradenton area. Feeling hopeless and broken, Olaf found new life through Jesus Christ at Loving Hands Ministries, where he began to understand his true identity in Christ and experienced freedom from guilt, shame, and addiction.
After graduating from the program, Olaf interned at Camp Sozo, a ministry serving those struggling with addiction in the Ocala National Forest. In 2021, he married his wife, Erin, and together they have continued faithfully serving the Lord and their community.
In 2023, Olaf returned to Loving Hands Ministries in response to God’s calling and began serving at the Georgia Campus in Reidsville, where he played an important role in strengthening community relationships and supporting the growth of the ministry. In 2025, he stepped into the role of Program Director for the Georgia Campus.
Olaf is passionate about helping men discover the same hope and transformation he found through Christ. He and Erin are active members of their local church, and Olaf has received his credentials with the Assemblies of God. We are excited to see all the Lord will continue to do through his leadership and testimony.
