Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose:
Alabaster House Recovery for Women is a faith based, seven month, 12-step recovery program that offers women a way out of addiction, a way back into society, a way to move forward to make generational changes, and a way to create stronger communities.

Ministry's Activities:
Alabaster House serves women battle active addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. During the first 6 weeks of our residents' stay, the women are immersed in biblical recovery classes and begin our 12-step program. They are not permitted to work during this period as it is set aside for nurturing, healing, and learning how our program works. There are many protocols and guidelines in place to protect everyone at Alabaster House. All of the women are responsible for chores, daily journaling, written daily reflections, and are subject to random drug tests, to name a few. After 6 weeks, our residents can begin working full time. We have partnered with different local businesses for employment opportunities. During this time, our residents begin taking on the responsibility of submitting payment for personal program fees. The women at Alabaster House regularly attend many events during the weeknights and weekends. Local churches and recovery groups invite our residents to activities, which include worship nights, recovery events, church services, serving opportunities, and workshops. We stay busy! As residents progress through the program, privileges are earned based on their growth and behavior.

How does your ministry directly share the Gospel of Jesus Christ?:
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is at the heart of our organization as we believe that only God can provide full healing and recovery. At Alabaster House, women attend multiple daily classes led by Biblical instructors. Additionally, our residents are frequently listen to live recovery testimonies from others sharing how God has transformed their hearts and minds. Multiple weekly church visits are a regular part of the Alabaster House schedule.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose:
Boys Farm has served families with at-risk children since 1960 as a residential children’s home in Newberry, SC. Our Mission is to offer a home exclusively for the purpose of providing a Christian, charitable, and educational home with love, training, understanding, and guidance and to meet the spiritual, as well as physical needs of boys in need of assistance.

Ministry's Activities:
By serving at-risk youth in traditional single-family homes with full-time houseparents dedicated to the training, support, and care of their household, Boys Farm continues to see the fruit of intensive parenting and the positive outcomes that flow from healthy lifestyles, structure, and security. Many of the youth we serve suffer from a lack of strong support and upstanding role models, and through our residential care model we are able to provide encouragement, support, and counsel to children who are struggling with abandonment, crisis, and family dysfunction. Placing at-risk children into the care of full-time houseparent couples who provide this level of care is transformative, helping disadvantaged youth clearly see opportunity and pathways to develop into healthy, productive, and successful members of society, leading each child we serve toward a brighter future. Boys Farm is licensed by the South Carolina Department of Social Services to have up to 32 children in our four residential cottages. We are members of the Palmetto Association for Children and Families (PAFCAF), the National Association of Christian Child and Family Agencies (NACCFA), the South Carolina Association of Nonprofit Organizations (SCANPO) and the United Way of the Midlands. Boys Farm is incredibly grateful for the long legacy of support from the Lipscomb Family Foundation, empowering us in this mission. Our programs include: Adventures in Academics Program: Boys Farm improves academic performance and overcomes deficits. Our houseparents closely monitor children’s progress in school, providing the support they need to succeed. Boys Farm partners with local schools and individuals, providing individualized tutoring to assist in any subject areas in which children need remedial support or have less than a 3.0 GPA. Agriculture & Environmental Program: Boys Farm provides children the opportunity to become more aware of the natural environment around them and the need for greater sustainability. Through learning about a variety of farming practices, children learn where their food comes from, stewardship principles, and the inputs required to bring food from farm to table. Character and Responsibility Program: Boys Farm builds character by teaching children to take pride and ownership in their work, learn money management, and find satisfaction in a job well done. This provides time for the children to be mentored and work alongside our staff to help children prepare to be productive citizens. Recreation and Athletic Program: Boys Farm promotes the physical and emotional development of children through organized and casual sports, as well as recreational activities such as camping, hiking, and fishing. The Athletic Coordinator also schedules clinics and special events. including trips to a variety of college sports events Pathways to Independence Program: Boys Farm enables and encourages our graduates to pursue higher education opportunities by providing essential framework, guidance and assistance beginning in high school and continuing through college. Our ongoing support in college and career placement, military enlistment, or independent living arrangements produces lasting positive outcomes for our residents. Reins of Hope Program: Boys Farm offers evidence-based counseling care for each of our clients including individual, group, and family counseling in conjunction with equine assisted services, helping accomplish our mission by providing top quality services and meeting the growing support needs of the population we serve.

How does your ministry directly share the Gospel of Jesus Christ?:
The Gospel is the center of all of our activity, as our identity is rooted in the image of God and the purposes of His kingdom. We know that Jesus is the one and only that can produce true and lasting life transformation and change. Each of our families that serve in this ministry are a biblical model of a husband who loves the Lord, a wife who loves the Lord, and whom love each other in a biblical and committed way. The Christian character of our houseparents is essential in modeling the hope and the promise that Jesus offers for each child who is entrusted to our care. Each household is responsible not only for the daily physical care of the boys in the program, but also the spiritual care through discipleship, mentorship, daily devotions, consistent participation in worship, and upholding biblical standards. Boys Farm is dedicated to our motto of "Building Boys rather than Mending Men" and we champion a biblical male identity, helping shape boys into the Godly men of the next generation. We receive no government funding and will continue to unashamedly hold out the Gospel truth to every child and family who is a part of this ministry.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose: Calvary Home for Children provides help, hope, and home to abused and neglected children. Our vision is to build an exceptional community of nurturing homes for displaced children in the Upstate through our Foster Family Community in Anderson County. We strive for every child to be nurtured in a welcoming, reliable, and Christ-centered home and be united with their family as a more physically, emotionally, and academically stable individual.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: We provide comprehensive care of orphans in a Christian environment. In keeping with our mission of “Providing help, a home and hope for children in need”, Calvary Home reaches these children using a two-fold strategy: (1) we meet the basic physical needs of children who have been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect and (2) we meet the emotional needs of these children who have endured difficult and harmful circumstances. Not only do we meet each child’s basic needs for clothing, food and shelter, but we also offer a variety of age-appropriate educational, social and spiritual opportunities based on a Christian framework. It is our desire at Calvary Home for Children to give each child in our care the full opportunity to reach his or her God-given potential.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ: Calvary Homes does not just provide food, clothing, shelter and education to these vulnerable children and young people. Calvary Home is intentional in our desire to make Christ known to each of these young ones for we know that Christ is the only true change agent. Through bible study, biblical counseling, teaching Christian values, the importance of prayer, and support from foster parents we share the love of Jesus and the Truth to the children in our care.

We are Larry and Cathy Lawrence. We lost our 14 year old son Christopher to suicide on January 22, 2019. Shortly after our tragedy, we determined we would do everything in our power to help other parents and their children to not have to experience what we went through, and began a search to find a way to help.

Our search led us to Hope Squads, founded by Dr. Greg Hudnall, in Provo, Utah. Hope Squads are groups of students in a school, nominated by their peers as someone they could go to if they had a problem. Hope Squads are not trained as counselors, but become the eyes and ears of the school, looking for at risk youth due to bullying, failing grades, lonliness, signs of self-harm or suicide. They then direct the student to a counselor or mental health person.

Learn more about Hope Squads from these Youtube videos: Hope Squads NBC, or Hope Squads White Board Video; Or, visit Hopesquads.com

Our website is ChristophersHope.org

Our vision is to have Hope Squads in every middle and high school in South Carolina. We are beginning with two schools in the Boiling Springs area. Each school must have at least one Advisor, usually a school counselor, mental health person, or a teacher.

We are very excited to report that on October 9, 2020, we held an Advisor Training at High Point Academy, where 9 Advisors were trained for HPA and Boiling Springs Middle School. Both schools will begin Hope Squads this year.

Hope Squads have been shown to change the atmosphere of a school, and destigmatize the discussion of mental health, as well as saving lives.

Latest update, is that we will have at least 5 more schools beginning Hope Squads for the 2021-22 school year. Four are in District 2 of Spartanburg County, and one is in Greenville County.

Our mission is to inspire seniors to live with purpose by honoring God in their latter years.

In the United States, approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers are turning 65 every day. This means the population of Americans aged 65 and over will jump from 35 million to 71.5 million between the years 2010 and 2030. The number of men and women 85 and older will increase by over 70 percent! This trend has enormous implications for every segment of our society, including the church. That's why we must begin now to prepare for what many Christian leaders are calling one of the fastest growing mission fields in history.

Elder Source Senior Ministries exists to facilitate senior ministry by distributing senior-friendly Christian resources to senior care centers, creating opportunities that encourage and edify seniors to be productive and spiritually fertile, while building partnerships with like-minded organizations, churches, and individuals that will value and honor seniors.

FACES of Total Victory is a non-profit, non-denominational ministry designed to make a difference in the lives of Female Athletes and Coaches Engaged in Sports. Through personal relationships with the coaches and athletes and surveys taken during our team Bible Studies, we identify issues and struggles they are facing and meet those needs in an uplifting and safe environment.

 

OUR VISION is to see Female Athletes and Coaches Engaged in Sports experience total victory in every area of their lives. “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57                                                        

 

OUR MISSION is to equip female coaches and athletes emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually by providing specific events and resources designed to meet those needs.

 

FACES of Total Victory is led by women who have a diverse and extensive background in women’s sports and a passion to see athletes and coaches experience this victory in all areas of their lives. The ministry is based on the model of Jesus in His ministry to women: Jesus valued women, always had a purpose, wanted to please the Father, spent time preparing for His ministry, loved and sought out non-believers and spent time with them, listened to their needs, and met immediate needs before beginning to address their spiritual needs in ways specific to each person.

 

FACES of Total Victory is designed to Educate, Encourage, Motivate, and Inspire. We achieve this goal by focusing on three main types of events:

 

We plan and provide Large Conferences for female athletes and coaches in three separate age divisions; Elementary School, Middle and High School, and College. These include age-appropriate breakout sessions led by professionals on topics including Self Esteem, Identity and Value, Social Media, Bullying, Peer Pressure, Anxiety, Depression, Suicide, Human Trafficking, Body Image, Eating Disorders, and Life After Sports. Our conference ends with a motivating and inspirational challenge from nationally recognized women in the sports world.

 

We provide Luncheons, Events, and Retreats specifically for female coaches to encourage and equip them as they lead and influence the girls they coach. This includes a “Moms Who Coach” support group.

 

We provide and lead Team Dynamics Development for individual teams, meeting with them and using biblical principles and resources to guide and encourage the teams.

 

We are very excited to be in the process of publishing the FACES of Total Victory Devotional Bible to give to all who participate in these events. This will be the first Devotional Bible with content included specifically for female athletes and coaches, as all the devotions are being written by women who competed at the professional, Olympic, or collegiate level. This will be a huge resource for the ministry, putting God’s word in the hands of literally thousands of girls and women.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities:

We ignite churches and communities to raise up foster, adoptive, and kinship families and equip them with the resources and connections they need to successfully parent the child/children in their care.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ:

When a child enters care into a believing foster, adoptive, or kinship family, they are able to see the love of God being modeled firsthand. When that family has its church family circling around them, they are then able to reinforce the love of Jesus. One of the natural and organic relationships that follow is that the child in care comes to faith in Jesus. This is our prayer in faith, that what we are doing to take in the children of the state is giving them a forever eternal inheritance through these two avenues - a forever family and a relationship with Jesus. This will directly impact the next generation (homelessness, incarceration, and sex trafficked souls) as the church and its people arise. A relationship with Jesus is our motivating endeavor behind all that we do.

Impact Sports is an interdenominational ministry whose mission is to use sports to take the Gospel to places it's never been, is not allowed, or the delivery of it has been previously ineffective. Our primary goal is to use God-given talents, abilities, and expertise in sports to gain access to lost people who are resistant to traditional means of evangelism or have never had the opportunity to hear the Truth of the Gospel message. Our secondary goal is to see other believers grow in their walk with Christ as they use their abilities for His glory and see peoples' lives impacted in return. Our desire is to help those we serve, athletes and coaches, understand their responsibility to be good stewards of their talents and to equip them to use those talents for God rather than for themselves. In essence, we want to take athletes, and we bring home missionaries.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose: Miracle Hill exists that children, women and men receive food and shelter with compassion, hear the Good News of Jesus Christ and move toward healthy relationships and stability.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: As South Carolina’s largest, most comprehensive provider of services to the homeless, Miracle Hill Ministries serves nearly 4,000 children and adults each year by providing shelter, food and compassionate care in a faith-based environment. We operate facilities in Greenville, Spartanburg, Pickens and Cherokee counties, which include emergency rescue shelters, residential addiction recovery centers, transitional housing, and homes for children in foster care. Since its founding as a soup kitchen in downtown Greenville in 1937, Miracle Hill has answered the call to demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ to the most needy and vulnerable.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ: As an evangelical, gospel-infused mercy ministry, Jesus Christ is at the center of all we do at Miracle Hill. We recognize that we are utterly dependent on Him for not only physical provision, but for the regeneration and transformation of lives. Every life is precious in God’s eyes and has great worth. But because of sin, we are all broken and in need of a savior. Jesus meets physical needs, but He meets our even greater need to be reconciled with God. Out of that reconciliation flows reconciliation with each other. Miracle Hill is continuing Christ’s ministry of reconciliation. Whether we are helping people experiencing homelessness, discipling individuals suffering from addiction, or providing comfort to those who have been wounded and neglected, Jesus makes all the difference.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose: The primary goal of TIBI is to train Hispanic men and women to make disciples of Jesus Christ, who make other disciples, who are then gathered into churches sharing that mission. These people are active in community development, character formation, family enrichment, conflict resolution, counseling, and social justice.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: We give scholarships to certain well-qualified students who undergo a rigorous selection process, so that they can study full-time live by video conferencing to prepare themselves to serve in the local church. Our students take 42 courses in Bible text, languages, exegesis, and ministry skills, and receive a Bachelor of Biblical Studies. They also must invest at least 10 hours per week in the local church, supervised by a local church leader and our full-time field work supervisor, Carlos Camacho, who has 38 years of successful experience in church planting and nurturing.

At the end of our intensive two-year program, our students have had 1600 hours of class instruction with academically qualified professors who between them also have hundreds of years of ministry experience. They have invested at least 1000 hours in ministry in their local churches. And they have done all this from their homes and home churches, without having to leave their families and congregations to receive training. The ability to train them literally in their homes has been a crucial advantage during the coronavirus period, because they have not lost one hour of training due to quarantines or shelter in place, though most of their countries were totally shut down.

In addition to our full time scholarship students who work by video conferencing, we offer the same courses online in video format, 24/7, and also on hard drives for those who don't have access to internet. In all, we currently have about 3800 students in 76 countries.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ: See above, and emphasis on work in local churches.

Mission Statement or Ministry Purpose: The Garden's vision is to connect women on the broken road of motherhood to healing and wholeness.

Brief Description of Your Organization's Activities: The Garden is a movement of motherhood that is raising up women on the broken road of motherhood to learn their identity as daughters of God, walk in that identity, and begin to mother the children in their home and spiritual daughters. We do this by meeting once a month for Garden Gatherings where there is connection, worship, sound teaching, and small groups. Women also meet in small groups once a month with a small group leader who has taken the role of discipling women in her group. We bring support to women walking through miscarriage, infertility, adoption, and foster care.

Manner in which your organization shares the gospel of Jesus Christ: At each Garden Gathering we share the gospel of Jesus. As women meet in small groups at the Gatherings and in homes, they are discipling women to know their identity in Jesus because of the cross, and walk in the fullness of their inheritance as daughters.

Water is essential to human life.  It is the center of economic and social development and vital to maintain health, grow food, generate energy, manage the environment, and create jobs. Clean drinking water and sanitation are essential to the realization of all human rights. When people do not have access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, the impact on the population is devastating, leading to a global crisis. According to the World Economic Forum’s 2015 global risk report, the Global Water Crisis is now the number one global risk based on its impact on society.

Currently, 2.2 billion people around the world lack access to safe water. That’s one-third of the world’s population.  According to a recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), more than 263 million people spent over 30 minutes round trip collecting water from an unimproved source. An estimated 4.2 billion people live without adequate sanitation, and one person dies every 37 seconds from water-related illnesses.  Children are the most affected: an estimated 760,000 children under the age of five die each year from diarrheal diseases globally. Women and children spend hours walking an average of 3 miles each day collecting water that is contaminated and will likely make their families sick. The global water crisis is real and it is urgent.

Water Mission is a Christian engineering nonprofit that designs, builds, and implements safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) solutions for people in developing countries and disaster areas. Since 2001, Water Mission has used innovative technology and engineering expertise to provide access to safe water for more than 7 million people in 57 countries. Water Mission has over 400 staff members working around the world in permanent country programs located in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean.  Notably, Charity Navigator has awarded Water Mission its top four-star rating for 15 consecutive years, a distinction shared by only 1% of charities rated by the organization. 

Water Mission was founded in 2001 by George and Molly Greene, who at the time owned an environmental engineering and analytical firm. They decided to apply the same engineering discipline toward a non-profit endeavor focused on providing safe water and sanitation solutions for people in developing countries and disaster situations. 

Water Mission was born out of the need for safe water as a result of a disaster, responding in Honduras after Hurricane Mitch. Since then, we have provided relief following some of the world’s most devastating natural and humanitarian disasters, including most recently: Texas Arctic Storms; Earthquakes in Indonesia; Hurricanes Eta and Iota in Honduras; Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas; Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico; Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh; Cyclone Idai in Malawi and Mozambique; Earthquake and Tsunami in Indonesia; Refugees in Uganda and Tanzania; and many, many more.
