Tonight, the guys from The Jeremiah Tree were reminded once again that abundant life is lived in community. 🌱 After mowing the lawn for a wonderful lady, she surprised them by treating everyone to dinner as a way of saying thank you!
It’s the little acts of kindness, shared meals, and genuine gratitude that make this journey so rich. God is good, and His blessings show up in the sweetest ways. 🙌

👨🍳 Tonight at the Jeremiah Tree we turned the kitchen into a classroom! The guys are learning how to cook meals that not only fill the belly but also feed the soul. 🍲🥖
But let me tell you… the most attentive student wasn’t one of the men at all—it was Bacon the dog 🐶🥓. He sat right there, eyes locked on every move, like he was ready to take the final exam in “Intro to Meatloaf 101.”
We may have some future chefs in the making, but if you ask Bacon, he’s already earned his diploma. 🎓🐾

The residents at the Jeremiah Tree were absolutely touched beyond measure this week! 💚
After spending Wednesday evening at the Xenia Church of Christ Bible Study, the children’s class surprised our guys with goody bags filled with fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, candy, and popcorn—handmade with so much love. But the sweetest part? Inside each bag was a handwritten note of encouragement for every single man. ✍️🍪🍬
I’ve witnessed many ways the Lord blesses the men at the Jeremiah Tree, but none has touched them deeper than this simple act of love from those precious children. Their kindness reminded us all of Matthew 19:14, where Jesus said, “Let the little children come unto Me.”
I cannot praise the Lord enough tonight for being so good! 🙌✨

🐷🥓 Please meet our newest resident at the HomePlace: The Baconator!
Bacon has transferred from our brothers at Whole Truth Ministries to the Jeremiah Tree, where he’ll be living his Abundant Life out in the countryside of New Jasper. His official role? Supervising lunches, dinners, and (most importantly) snacks for the guys at the HomePlace.
Welcome home, Baconator! 🐖✨

While most of the Men of the Jeremiah Tree are up in Chicago this weekend, working security at a LIV Golf fundraiser, things at the HomePlace have been a little quieter. Brother Kenny enjoyed some family time with his Mom, Granny, and Aunt alongside one of the men in the program — and his mom, aunt, and son joined us for a wonderful dinner together.
What a blessing to live an abundant life in Christ — full of work, family, fellowship, and joy! 🕊️❤️

☀️ The guys at the Jeremiah Tree had their very own Summer Staycation last week! 🌳🎣🍕
While Brother Kenny and Greg were out of town, our amazing Board of Directors stepped in and made sure the week was filled with fun, fellowship, and a whole lot of abundant life. Each day brought something new—fishing trips, a visit to the Air Force Museum, corn hole tournaments, and plenty of pizza.
We're so thankful for a team that pours into our men not just with structure and discipleship, but also with joy and rest.

🌿 Abundant Lawn Care is on the move! 🌿
The Jeremiah Tree has partnered with Whole Truth Ministries to offer free lawn care to elderly and disabled neighbors throughout the Miami Valley. Each week, our guys head out with mowers and w**d eaters in hand—not just cutting grass, but sowing seeds of gratitude and service.
This is more than yard work. It's a way for our men to give back to the very community that lifts them up.

🚨 Testimony Alert! 🚨
Take a few minutes to watch this powerful testimony from Joe Raines. He shares the raw truth about his past struggles with addiction, time in prison, and how his life was radically changed when he met Jesus Christ through the Jeremiah Tree.
Hear firsthand how the Jeremiah Tree is different, not just another program, but a Christ-centered discipleship ministry that brings real hope, healing, and lasting change.
But stories like Joe’s don’t happen without people like you. When you give to the Jeremiah Tree, you become the Good Samaritan, the one who doesn’t walk past, but stops to help, invest, and care. Your support makes it possible for men to rise from brokenness into a new life in Christ. You’re not just donating, you are changing eternities.
Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Independence Day as we celebrate the freedom we hold dear. We’ll see you all tonight at the Kevin Sonnycalb Memorial Fireworks Display in Xenia—come enjoy the show with us!

At the Jeremiah Tree, we still believe in good old-fashioned Christian values—hard work, gratitude, and the joy of simple things shared in community. This summer, we are all excited to gather around the table and snap green beans like it’s 1899. There’s just something special about slowing down and doing life together the way our grandparents did. 💚

The guys had a fantastic time today at the free event hosted by Valley Rock Church in Riverside! 🙌
Brother Matt even got a surprise shower when the wind shook the tent and a puddle of water dumped right on top of him. If you know Matt, you know he just laughed it off and kept right on worshipping. Nothing can dampen the joy of the Lord!

The Jeremiah Tree is a residential, full-time, life-intensive experience that points men trapped in addiction to the transformational power of Christ.
Our program
Our program is a 12-month, highly structured residential discipleship program with two phases, the TreeHouse and the GreenHouse. A number of our men come to us from prison and have nothing when they arrive. We know we cannot cause the change for our men, but we can and do give them the tools to be successful.
The TreeHouse is the recovery phase of our program. Here the men break old patterns and establish new patterns. The men spend several hours each day in Bible study. They also do community service, do their own laundry and chores, cook, keep tidy rooms with room inspections, have counseling, meet with their parole officers (if they have one), go to recovery meetings, establish a relationship with at least one mentor, etc. In nice weather the men play basketball or do other games outdoors. They mow the lawn and may help in the garden. Some of our men have never learned how to do those things, so there may be a big learning curve. Some of our residents are artists or musicians so we seek ways to give them creative outlets as well. Contact with friends and family is very limited at this point. Sadly, even family has often been a poor influence on our residents.
The GreenHouse is the transition phase of our program. Here the men get jobs and are given the tools they need to be successful when they re-enter society. We offer financial and other life-skills classes to help them. The men continue in Bible study, recovery meetings, counseling, meeting with mentors, household chores, have room inspections, etc. The men do give a small portion of their wages to the shared expenses of the ministry so that they learn how to keep current with bills and rent. This part of the program is currently being expanded and solidified.
No cost to residents
We do not charge our residents anything other than asking them to contribute to the shared expenses once they have jobs. We are completely dependent on the generosity of individuals, churches, and businesses who care about men trying to put their lives back together. We do not receive funds from the government, though most of our men do qualify for and get food stamps.
TreeHouse Champions
We have a very special group of people who are TreeHouse Champions. These people commit to donating at least $25 per month for the next 12 months. These generous people are of critical importance to the ministry. This steady monthly giving allows us to plan better. We would love to have you join this group of true champions for our ministry.
How else can you be involved?
Volunteer your time!
Volunteers are a huge part of this ministry. The staff and board in no way could do this without our many volunteers. We utilize volunteers to teach our classes, run errands, transport our residents, grocery shop, be mentors, etc. Volunteers can also be helpful in the office. We would love to have volunteers who can help with the newsletter, plan events like graduations or fundraisers, be computer support, help with social media, etc. Volunteers can also do home repair/upkeep tasks.
Pray!
We are in daily spiritual battles and would love to have more folks praying often for us.
Donate!
You can become a TreeHouse Champion or make a one-time monetary donation.
If you would like to donate material goods, we can always use: ½ inch 3 ring binders, white cardstock, Scrubbing Bubbles (only non-aerosol), paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap.
New Resident Totes are given to each man as he arrives. Inside the clear 16-18 gallon Tote we put 2 NEW twin sheet sets, 3 NEW matching bath towels, 3 NEW matching washcloths, 2 NEW matching hand towels, disposable razors, toothbrush and toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, and antiperspirant. An NIV Bible and flashlight are optional items.
