Our vocational program gives men an opportunity to learn the skill of Landscaping & Horticulture. This program is run by Mr. Cobb and is successful within Greater Gainesville. Clients within our program will be given priority hiring.

Expansion Plan

We have a vision to open homes like this in various counties and states as God gives vision & provision. There are also future plans for a women's facility in place.

Mr. Cobb is currently working with the community liaison in Ocala Florida to open a women's facility as well as officials in Cocoa Beach Florida for an additional men's facility.

It is the desire of this ministry to be able to purchase our own property within 3 years and open an additional 10 bed facility in this immediate area.

It is the sincere hope that other ministries in our body will move forward in this like fashion to meet the needs of our communities.

It is the vision of this ministry, to become a omdel program that will serve as a witness to our community about God's love, forgiveness and redemptive power.

Our Mission Statement

We are committed to providing a loving spiritual environment that will empower our residents to successfully integrate back into our society.
