Our 2022-2025 goals are:

• Oversee and direct our Healing Refuge Home for men from prison who need addiction recovery.

• To continue to advise and instruct those who are opening addiction recovery centers.

• To coach churches in doing outreaches with the homeless, incarcerated, and the poor who especially may be struggling with addictions.

• To advise in establishing After-Care Recovery Homes for the dually diagnosed–mentally ill and addicted.

• To help with church meetings with the homeless-unhoused and the addicted poor.

• To facilitate one-on-one and group caregiving with those who have experienced childhood and other traumas.

Mike and Shirley are trained in Healing Care Ministries and classes with Life University, a part of the American Association of Christian Counselors, which give practical tools to help those who have experienced trauma from childhood and life as well as those who are dealing with mental health issues.  Mike is currently practicing what he is learning by mentoring individuals with traumas.

Mike is helping start and enhance addiction recovery/aftercare homes in Colorado, also in our own Bay Area, and in other places around the nation.

Mike and Shirley are both mentoring our graduates to help them experience deeper healing from childhood issues.
