Getting there!!
Painting is all but done!! Final touches early next week.

1st of the carpet squares have been laid, vanities are ordered. Toilets to follow! Bathroom and bedrooms should be pretty well wrapped up week after Thanksgiving. We will immediately begin focusing on the main dorm area makeover. 2500 sq feet of floor to lay, and plenty of painting to do!

Siding, soffit and gutters to complete exterior finish are ordered and scheduled for install.

As we break for Thanksgiving, we want to say a special thank you to all our volunteers and supporters. It would be impossible to do this without you!

Enjoy your Thanksgiving! And remember Outreach ministries as you think about year end giving and budget planning for giving in 2026. Your gift changes lives, and enables our leadership team to make improvements that will impact Men and families for years to come!

Part of our mission is seeing the men who come to our program be "equipped to be the husbands, fathers, and Godly men they were created to be."

Check out these stats on the importance of fathers in the home. The masculinity some call "toxic" is actually exactly what our kids need. When dad is home, kids stay off drugs, in school, and out of trouble. Su***de rates, teen pregnancy, and feelings of depression/ anxiety all decrease dramatically when dad is home.

There are 377k families in Ohio in "single parent, no father present" families. We need a push to return the father to the head of the household, because thats where God designed him to be.

Every time a man gets sober, healed , and restored to his children's lives, families futures change for the better.
When a man gets his life together before having children and leads his family right from the start, it doesn't just change a mans life, it changes generations.
We are watching God change men who's impact and legacy will be felt long after we are gone. What a blessing!

This Institute for Family Studies research brief details the connections between fatherlessness, family structure, and the increasing number of young men who are floundering in life and pose a threat to themselves and their communities. We do so by exploring the links between family structure and co...

There are 15 beds at Outreach. And when all are full, we have to go on a waiting list. I HATE not having a bed for a guy who says hes ready. I have 2 men on the list right now. The phone is ringing EVERY SINGLE DAY. God is moving. The men here are taking steps forward. Its a great time to be at Outreach.

I am so thankful for the volunteers helping us get the old church ready to house 12-14 guys. This would double our capacity. Monthly donations are the lifeblood of our support team.They help us provide food, housing, discipleship and training to these men in crisis.
