"...I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." - Paul, Philippians 3:13,14
Jonah Foundation invites you and your guests to an evening of inspiration, dinner and music as we celebrate the achievements since our last banquet and continue the pursuit of Mecosta County's first reentry and recovery house for men.
Two Mecosta County Jail chaplains received a burden for those who return to jail despite their best intentions and efforts to remain free. The greatest barriers these men face? Their own community, which is usually not safe or sober, and the insurmountable amount of change required for them to remain free from incarceration and productive in life.
Jonah Foundation is creating a Christ-centered, community-connected residential program for men in our area who have been incarcerated or dealt with life-dominating addictions or mentalities. For two years, our team has been laying the groundwork for programming and a culture of accountability, and partnering with churches and critical community institutions and organizations.
Enthusiasm and anticipation for the first Jonah House has increased and now there's No Turning Back; not for Jonah Foundation and certainly not for those we see and serve each day.
If there's one thing worth pursuing - it's true freedom. If there's one thing worth pursuing together, it's a home for those who are willing to give up everything to walk in freedom and newness of life.
We invite you to step out and join us as part of the community of hope to make this vision of a safe, sober, peer-led, biblically principled residential program a reality.
All donations and silent auction purchases will contribute toward the purchase of our first Jonah House, unless otherwise directed by your donation.
