“As a former member of the diversion program, I learned and also changed so much. I went from being at the lowest point in my life to being the best I’ve ever been. This program not only teaches you about the effects of drugs and alcohol, but it also gives you someone positive to look up to, teaches you about manners and life guidelines to follow. I think that other people should take advantage of this program so they can also get the help they need."

– Former Student

“The staff relate with honesty, humor and even singing and dancing. It’s obvious that they care very much for each one of these teens, letting them know that they're there for them any time – and they mean it."

– Parent, Diversion Program Participant

We call our monthly supporters our

"Dream Team."

We aim to support our programs both materially and spiritually, praying that God provides them with opportunities that go beyond their biggest dreams, and we give financial help to make those dreams possible.

Our Dream Team allows us to plan more effectively, and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we can offer services to every young man within the justice system. We want to interrupt the cycle of crime and prevent high-risk youth from entering the adult prison system. We want to see God-sized dreams become an amazing reality for the amazing Youth at Light Work Ministries because everyone deserves a second chance!

We are a fully legal and recognized 501(c)3 Non-Profit. Your gifts are 100% Tax Deductible.

 FAQs

  • Our ministries are all highly relational, and require holistic on-going services to be successful. Generational transformation is time-consuming and costly, but it's an investment that ultimately outlasts us. In order to provide these kinds of on-going services, and never turn a student away because of a lack of funding, we need monthly financial support. Our goal is to fund 50% of our programs through monthly support. 

  • When you support Light Work Ministries, you are supporting the engine that works behind the scenes to make Reach North Georgia, Eleos Employment Ministry and Light Bearer possible. Our Collective ministry model allows us to pursue excellence in our programs, while sharing the burden of our overhead costs between three ministries. We are better together! Generous, monthly support makes that possible.

  • At Reach North Georgia, we are committed to equipping and elevating youth leaders in the ways of Jesus from our most vulnerable communities. Everything we measure helps us answer the question “are our ministries effectively reaching students, and are the programs transforming students into Leaders who lead like Jesus?”

    MEASURABLE DATA:

    Our work at Light Work Ministries is deeply personal. We want to see students transformed into leaders.

    As we all know, transformation is something we can contribute to, but cannot control. We don't measure the success or failure of our ministry based on outcomes that are out of our control - we base our ministry strategy on the effectiveness of inputs that we can control. We will publish yearly impact reports measuring the inputs of our programs - these inputs are tangible expressions of love... which we all know is the soul of lasting life change.

  • They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

    Likewise, we think a story is worth a thousand data points. Transformation can be a hard thing to quantify, but when you see it, transformation becomes hard to deny. You can't always trace the transformation back to a particular influence, or a specific "input." But that's okay.

    The transformation that we observe is worth beholding and celebrating. Let's thank God for the things that are hard to put your finger on, but are undeniably beautiful. That's transformation.

    It's slow... It's often born out of pain... It's almost always cultivated in community... and it's worth celebrating every single time.
