The men finally got the plastic sheeting on today in spite of the occasional wind gusts. We will let it stretch in the sun a little and then tighten it down completely but for now it's up! Quite the change from where this project started!

The guys were all smiles until someone yelled that food is ready!! Lol!
As always, we so appreciate the folks at House of Prayer in Clarksville for their support and generosity. Special thank you to Pastor Luke for joining the Bible study at the house Tuesday. Love having men of God breath truth and love into these men!

Check out these two 'tunnel rats'!! Lol!
Awesome job Owen and Chase! Today they helped to get the plumbing, under a church repair we did earlier, all insulated and taped up. The other guys handled several other jobs at the site as well and also did a great job!
Amazing to watch these guys get it done!
What a great day to serve others!

Great night of sweet fellowship with the Life Recovery Group from Christ Family Outreach Church in Amelia. Yep that was a long way for them to come but it's not the first time and won't be the last
Friendships have been built through a common thread of recovery and it's God saving root. They can relate, encourage, understand, and be totally honest with each other because they all have been redeemed and rescued by a powerful and loving God who met them in their mess and loved and still valued them as He raised them to a new life.
The cookout and bonfire only provided a reason to meet. God then took over as testimonies of His love and redemption spoke through those who were there.
Only a few pictures.....too busy fellowshipping!

Another Praise in the Pasture!! Thank you Lee Williams of Spurn' Up Hope (www.spurnuphope.com) for the invite ( and to Crystal Padgett for the pictures that I failed to take!)
The men listened to the powerful testimonies of Billy Livingston and Trey and his wife, Tiffany Abernathy . These people shared how God rescued and restored their lives, again proving God is not limited in His ability to heal anyone who truly seeks Him - a message these men need to hear repeatedly....
It was also exciting to have alumni Jordan and Duane join us there!
And I was given the privilege to share about the ARK and tell folks about what God is doing in the hearts of the men.

Big thank you to Jeanine Parks and her daughter for the toiletries for the men. A bag full of razers/ shaving cream and a bag full of kits that contain body gel, washcloth, toothbrush and toothpaste.
Every man got a kit and razors and we had a couple left for who joins the house next.....
Thank you! Definitely a gift that will be used and appreciated....

The Spirit of God was moving His people today!
It was exciting enough to have 5 additional spontaneous baptisms today at CFO church in Amelia, in addition to those already planning to get baptized.
But then I got word that one of our men from the ARK got baptized today at King Street Church in Keysville also!! Praise the Lord.....Al got baptized!!!! Hallelujah!
God is awakening His people...Amen!!!

The guys joined with Vibrant Church to enjoy cooking and serving some good stew and pulled pork at the Taste of Brunswick Festival today. They also set up a table to advertise the ARK and spread the word that we are a local resource for those in need.

Serving others and giving back: two of the most powerful ingredients in recovery!
Was contacted by a lady, Jamenia, last week who is 7 years into her new life of recovery. She expressed her desire to help others seeking the same freedom and restoration she enjoys. She had several bags of really nice clothing and coats for the guys if we could use them rather than simply giving them to another thrift store. It was more about actual helping rather than simply cleaning shop......
I have seen it over and over; those who know what the bottom of life looks and feels like are the most loving and generous people on earth....and Jamenia is one of them.
Her mom, Vernice, was gracious enough to meet me with the clothes. And I can say the guys loved them!! Thank you!
