Expand & Redeem

After months of renovation on our new South Bend, IN, building, we believe the Lord has provided a place perfectly suited and situated to fit our needs and the population
we seek to serve.

Expanding to South Bend

We are officially open! You can come visit us at 2206 Miami Street in South Bend, IN. Thank you to the volunteers, donors, staff. and your many prayers, that made this vision possible

Redeeming benton harbor

Over the last year, we have struggled with our Benton Harbor location due to our growing ministry needs and inability to expand in the current location. 

Through God’s providential working, we have found a building 1.4 times bigger, in one of the highest trafficked areas, but that’s not the best part! This building used to be the old Planned Parenthood building – A full redemption story!

Brand new location

Why Now?

SOUTH BEND EXPANSION

Sexual Brokenness

  • 50% of new STDs each year are diagnosed in individuals aged 15-24 years old
  • The average age of first sexual experience is 17

Abortion By Age

  • In 2020, the majority of women who had abortions (57%) were in their 20s, and 8% were between the ages of 13 and 19

BENTON HARBOR REDEMPTION

Poverty

  • 44% of individuals live in poverty
  • 14% of unwed mothers live in poverty
  • 82% of babies are born to unwed mothers (national average 40%)

Abortion By ethnicity

  • A study released by Protecting Black Life concluded that, “79% of Planned Parenthood’s surgical abortion facilities are strategically located within walking distance of Black and/or Hispanic communities.”

The Gospel will be present and god’s people, close

To reach young people in need, we have to be accessible and available. We pray our visible presence will serve as a beacon, welcoming the hundreds of young adults who pass by daily. Join us as we provide services and programs in our communities; educational services to individuals, families, schools, and churches; strengthen the men within our community; and compassionately serve those around us.

Benton Harbor

Now proclaiming Life
