Employment Success

Celebrate Recovery was founded in 1991 by Pastor John Baker of Saddleback Church with the goal of overcoming habits like sex disorders and drug addictions with a twelve-step program based on Christian principles. Other churches and some prisons implemented the program, and as of March 2004 more than 150,000 people are said to have participated. At the Faith-Based and Community Initiative Conference in 2004, U.S. President George W. Bush praised Celebrate Recovery as being able to "change hearts" where government cannot.

Men's Transitional Housing Facility

Shield Ministries provides housing for men who are homeless as a result of their past criminal record. Housing is limited to those who are enrolled and actively participate in the Shield Ministries Program.

Weekly housing program fees are due each Friday. Shield Ministries accepts referrals from local Probation, Pardon, and Parole services.

Worship Service & Bible Study

An interdenominational adult worship service is held every Sunay evening at 4:45 pm for adult men. This service, although not exclusively for offenders, provides a safe environment that promotes freedom in worship.

Transitional Housing for Men in N. Charleston, SC

I've enjoyed getting to know David Truluck who leads this ministry. Great heart and mind for this kind of ministry. We can learn a lot from him. I encourage you and your church to get behind what he's doing to help men get off the streets and back to work with the help of Jesus Christ. Darien Gabriel, Pastor, Grace Christian Fellowship

Ministry in Moncks Corner celebrates 10 years of helping those in need

A Moncks Corner ministry is celebrating 10 years of helping people in need.  Changed Lives Ministry assists men who want to overcome their addiction to drugs or alcohol. Up to 10 men at a time live at the facility for 10 weeks while they learn how to change their lives through Bible study and discussing their problems.

Neil Raney is the manager of Changed Lives Ministry. "They wake up at 6:30 in the morning. They're at the table by 7. Then we have Bible study, and we openly talk about our problems.  Things that we're struggling with, our temptations."

13 local churches and a number of individuals donate money for the operation of the ministry, so it does not cost anything to those who need help, other than a refundable $300 medical deposit.

Jerry Lightner went through the program about ten years ago, just months after it started.

Today he assists others in changing their lives. He says his experience was nothing short of a miracle, "I found that I didn't have to carry the burden of guilt or shame anymore. It's like going from the darkness into the light."

The ministry is paid for by 13 local churches, as well as a number of individual donations. That allows the ministry to help those in need at no cost. The only thing a man who goes through the program is a $300 refundable medical deposit. If you would like more information on Changed Lives Ministry, contact them at the links below.

Disaster Relief Pre Conf

Hello!

 

I would like to invite you to an important conference on July 20 - 21.  In these days of uncertainty, God has been speaking to many people about an upcoming emergency.  As part of our service as ministers, I believe we need to be equipping people to be prepared spiritually and otherwise.

 

This conference will include regional experts on food storage, solar power, water collection and purification, organic gardening, and more.  In addition, Stan Rowland, who is a nationally known speaker on neighborhood transformation will be training on how the church will function in a long emergency.  Please consider coming and forwarding this to others who will benefit from this.
