Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. II Corinthians 5:17
HOPE. The hope of Mission Messiah is that every hurting woman experiences the unconditional love of Jesus and finds a new life in Christ. God has a plan and a purpose for every life and His heart is the restoration of each one us to His Divine Call.
COMMITMENT. Every staff member, director, volunteer and supporter of Mission Messiah is committed to restoring hope to women and children who are seeking help.
DEBILITATING PROBLEMS. Many women who come to Mission Messiah are dealing with drug or alcohol abuse, prescription medication dependency, suicidal tendencies, eating disorders, fear or depression that may be related to past abortions, rejection, or physical or sexual abuse.
STRUCTURE. Through a disciplined structure of prayer, Bible study, scripture memorization, Biblical counseling, work assignments and recreation, residents are taught life and leadership skills. Each woman also receives educational and career counseling as well as financial management training.
CHILDREN. Life at the Mission is very family-oriented rather than institutional. Mothers are encouraged to have their children with them during this time of healing. Our deep conviction, based on prior experience, reveals that both parent and teacher benefit greatly from working together during the program. Children experience new-found stability and security resulting in improved academic performance and increased respect for adults and other children. Frequently children are reunited with their mothers during their time at the Mission, thus a true healing of the family occurs.
The Mission also accepts unmarried women who are pregnant. These mothers-to-be receive special training in parenting and child care skills.
SINCERE DESIRE. The primary qualification for residence is sincere desire for change. The applicant must commit to a twelve-month, curriculum-based program with a heart willing to submit to and practice the principles laid down throughout the program.
