WE NEED ...

Joseph, Terrance & Mike

Meet Joseph "Turtle", Terrance "T" and Mike. These guys are amazing. They are homeless and very interesting. They scour the river and surrounding terrain and have found old bottles, Native American artifacts and civil war items. Their collection represents a slice of the history of Columbus. Their collection of old bottles tells the story of our cultural changes over the past 80 years. There artifacts are so interesting the Mayor invited them to her office to show some of their collection. She even had the Museum and The Bo Bartlett Center folks there to meet these guys and see their collection. We are so proud of them. They are sharing their artifacts with others and have been able to sell some items. The SafeHouse team is working with Home for Good to find permanent housing for them. they will soon no longer be homeless but promise to continue their "archeological" efforts.

Dean Moody

Dean Moody came to us with a call from God to work with people struggling with substance abuse issues. He has experience working in Christ centered recovery programs where he came from and wanted to share that experience with people in his new home town of Columbus. He jumped right in and took charge of our noon Christian 12-step meeting at the SafeHouse. The meeting began increasing in attendance almost immediately. Many of those coming were from the Day Report Center (DRC). So, Dean asked how he could help them even more. Soon he was facilitating meetings as part of the SafeHouse program at the DRC. That wasn’t enough. Dean continued to work with men and women at the SafeHouse while he went to school to earn certification as a Substance Abuse Counselor. Dean’s heart is loving and kind. He’s the perfect person to lead our recovery efforts. We are honored that God led him to the SafeHouse. In Dean’s wake are men and women winning the battle against drugs and alcohol.

Keith Smith

Keith Smith came to us last February. He stayed at Grace House. While he was getting his life organized he asked if he could help us as a volunteer. First, he helped at Grace House while we finishing the final phase of construction and opened the last building. He then started volunteering at the SafeHouse. He was anxious to “pay it forward”. Even after he saved enough money to get his own place and a car, he continued to volunteer. It didn’t take long to find out that he is a great cook. The clients noticed quickly as well. We quickly realized that we wanted him to become part of the SafeHouse team. Even as an employee he still finds ways to volunteer and give back. Keith is one of those special people that welcomes you with a genuine smile and makes you feel important. He’s full of love and serves with gladness. He brightens everyone’s day and we are blessed to share life and ministry with Keith.
