We accomplish our mission by partnering with local medical providers and organizations who demonstrate a long-term interest in the health of the local community.

Caring for individuals who would otherwise receive no medical attention is both gratifying and humbling.

Transformed Discipleship Ministry

Statistically 70% of Christian men, 68% of youth pastors and 54% of pastors struggle with sexual sin, and we exist to help men find freedom from lust and pornography through their relationship with Jesus Christ. We do this through one-on-one, confidential coaching with a coach who has found freedom from sexual sin and a struggling brother who desires to be free. We pray that each struggling brother who finds freedom will then become a coach with us and help other men within their church or sphere of influence. Our target audience is the 30% of freed men within each church, and we believe our mission is to call them to action to join us as coaches who are doing everything within our power, and most importantly the Lord’s power, to fight back this darkness that has enveloped the Church.
