"But we have this Treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not ourselves. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed: we are perplexed, but not in despair: Persecuted, but not forsaken, cast down but not destroyed."
Therefore seeing we have this ministry as we have received mercy, we faint not:

THE MINISTRY
Rehoboth serves families and communities impacted by social and criminal justice issues.
Social issues are scarcities and inequities which compromise the quality of life experiences
Fragile communities often lack the benefits associated with viable resources.
Rehoboth was birthed from our personal experience in family and community.
Rehoboth is the name of a well, as found in Genesis 26:22.
A well is sustainability, water flowing into rivers giving. Life...
Rehoboth means
'God Has Made Room For You to Prosper, And You shall Prosper in the land
She states " I never imagined my vestment in the criminal justice system would be through experiencing the incarceration of my own children".
I've worked in juvenile justice and public schools," I have students in jail and at Yale".
Chris and I have traveled Georgia meeting countless families of incarcerated individuals.
We've meet supportive and concerned families in the visitation line each having their unique story.
Experience has groomed us as LYFE coaches (Listen To Your Family Experience) Ill tell you mine.
We do not give legal advice however we do provide supportive resource referrals.
I advise families to encourage and advocate for their loved ones during their journey.
