The Timothy Initiative

Their church is home to 15 to 20 men each week. Men who have found themselves stuck in a web of addiction and even though some have completed a rehab program, they don’t know how to continue to rebuild their lives. They are now using 3 houses to provide a home for men who are a part of the group. And their micro businesses are growing almost beyond what they can staff. Hundreds of t-shirts are being printed each week through their screen printing business. Hours and hours of contracting work fixing up houses. Other odd jobs around the city. Men are finding more than just something to do in place of their addiction. They’re finding a community of people who understand them, love them and believe they can be more than their addiction. They’re finding work which is restoring their dignity and their drive to continue to grow. But most importantly they’re finding Jesus. They’re learning he’s their only hope for beating an addiction that has held them captive for years. They’re finding freedom.
