Emanuel Matthews was born in 1974, and raised in a broken home In Detroit. Encountering sexual abuse as a toddler, rage began to fester inside of him, following him into adolescence. He became part of a notorious gang on Detroit's west side, called Puritan Avenue. Selling drugs before he turned 12 years of age, he was hospitalized for a gunshot wound at age 14. He spent 13 years in prison for many crimes. While behind bars he first began his relationship with God, and obtained a deep understanding of the Word of God. He was 34 years of age when he walked out of prison doors for the last time. Experiencing many trials and tribulations, including two failed marriages and estrangement from his sons are deep wounds he has endured. Following prison, he allowed the Holy Spirit to begin a new life within him. He acquired a degree in Cyber Security, while working full time. God has used Emanuel to see healings, miracles, and deliverances among many. His passion is for those who are imprisoned physically, mentally and spiritually, to help them be set free in Jesus Name, and thereafter live a successful life in Christ.

About Us
Our Team
We are blessed to have a team of staff and volunteers who truly care about each individual through the love of Christ. All of our staff have been delivered from addiction in their own lives and felt the call of God to give to others what God gave to them. Our staff can truly relate to the struggles individuals face in the recovery process.
Our History
Seeing a need for Faith based, nonprofit addiction recovery ministry in this area, we formed our organization to provide Christ-Centered Recovery to Kosciusko County and Indiana. We've consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!
Our Mission
We focus on using Biblical and evidence based recovery principles to provide freedom from addiction for our community. Our staff and volunteers provide the momentum that helps us affect change. Using The Word of God and evidence driven models, we provide addiction recovery solutions that make a long-lasting difference.
Sponsor an individuals program enrollment fee!
You can make a difference!
$350.00
We have many men who come to us with no financial means to pay the entry fee. We never turn down an individual for lack of ability to pay, however providing for an individual for 12 months is costly. You can help our ministry by sponsoring an individuals entry fee of $350. This investment could literally change a person’s life and will help you to feel connected to that person through your generosity! Pray and be led in your giving and God bless you!
