Celebrating Renewed Lives
In last month’s prayer calendar we prayed for the residents at Water Street who were on track to graduate on May 2nd. Thank you for your prayers, because all our men and women scheduled to graduate will do so this month!
When the men and women who arrive at Water Street choose to commit to getting help: educational, medical, behavioral and spiritual they enter into a yearlong journey toward wholeness. Many of these men and women find themselves surrounded by a God centered community of counselors and volunteers who guide them into a renewed lifestyle. The goal is for each person to secure employment, stay clean from past addictions, and find community in a local church.
One of this year’s graduates said, “The biggest thing that Water Street has given me was that all the things I wanted to be and that I tried to
Invite a Friend to Become a Prayer Partner
Help change one life at a time by inviting a friend to join the 600+ individuals who faithfully pray for the ministry.

get through the world’s system God has given me by being obedient and faithful. I’m happy to be who I am. Finally, I’m happy to be the person God wants me to be. I have so much peace. I never had peace in my life. I was always striving for something. Today I accept myself as a beautiful creation that God has made.” -Don S.
All of our residents graduating this month are working or actively
searching for jobs, involved in a local church community, and have remained clean from past addictions for over a year. That alone is a huge praise, because many of the residents graduating are living a clean lifestyle for the first time in decades. Praise God for providing them with second chances to live a renewed life, and to celebrate the progress of these strong men and women!
