Women with or without children who have expressed a desire to have their lives transformed by God’s love and truth. For the residential program, women who are homeless or currently living in an unstable, unsafe environment. These are women who WANT to live life differently and are ready to commit to do whatever is necessary to get there, but require a residential environment to achieve those goals. Although each woman and her story is unique, the “typical” demographic profile of the woman we are serving is:
- Twenty three years old
