What an honor it was to travel with our 24' Volunteer of the Year recipient, Kaylee Sarah McBay, to bring Monday night's lesson to the Lighthouse ladies in Madisonville! The Lighthouse is drastically changing lives as what used to be a "Trap Motel" in the community, tainted with overdose, late night police calls and the carnage of paraphernalia, is now a Transformation Home for women and/or couples completing faith based, lifestyle conditioning recovery! A safe haven for the community where hearts are thriving! Not only did we get to minister but we got a tour of the kitchen and laundry facilities, a huge fenced in back yard and living arrangements, completely redone and repurposed. Where needles once laid, now feet trod in deliverance. Where whiskey bottles and pills were strewn, now Bibles...tear stained, opened and highlighted lay on the tables. True Purpose Ministries, we are overwhelmed at the literal representation of an outward change! One of the ladies told us, "It's so ironic, I used to get high here, now I'm getting high on Jesus here!" Oh my goodness what a lovely night! Thank you to Sweet Southern Treats and More for sending banana pudding and pumpkin rolls for these beautiful new friends of ours. We can't wait to go back and love on them as they complete their program. Last night's lesson was "Relapse Prevention"...we love you girls and guys so much, walk it out with Jesus, you have the freedom and power to break generational curses! You were made for more!
You can find out more about The Lighthouse Community and how to support them by reaching out to True Purpose Ministries. Our current fundraising will feed into helping purchase Christmas for children of these parents who aren't just talking about rehabilitating but they are living it, through Christ, with the guidance of amazing mentors, one day at a time!
