Our goal will be to show foster children that not only do people in their community care about their well being - they are loved unconditionally by a Heavenly Father. We want to display this love in practical ways- by providing art and music lessons, dance classes, sports instruction, haircuts, money for school trips, school yearbooks, birthday parties, summer camps and even family vacations. BigHouse was created because there is a lack of opportunity for those in the community to reach out and help children in foster care.

(TM) from a place of healing I am acknowledging you as a spiritual being (mind, body, spirit), and as I stand upon the foundation of Theocentric-Holistic Metaphysics (TM), or THM, the perspectives advice, and commentary I provide are all immersed on the bridge of Religion and Metaphysics. If you believe or not, I want to guide you to heal emotionally and mentally through Faith + Spiritual Healing because God is more than what religion shows, faith is just the hope unseen being, and love will allow you to be found once again. As a final comment, CONFIDENCE + FAITH is not only for adults, but is a way to heal generations because as you learn new techniques, and find yourself again, you can teach, heal, and protect the children from cycles, inner child wounds, but more importantly, give them the same hope and future that you once longed for!

CONFIDENCE + FAITH is contradicting societal norms by writing Religious and Spiritual Self-Help Books for Lost Souls to heal, learn their identity, and realign with their essence. This literary culture is a new approach to healing emotions, mentality, spirituality, and faith, as it bridges Religion and Metaphysics, in THM (TM) (Theocentric-Holistic Metaphysics). Being a Lost Soul is no more than recognizing you are not the same since a negative event, life transition, or PTSD, and being ready to answer "What happened, & Who am I?". This Spiritual Coaching is a pivate exploration of your shadows, and does not require you to open up to anyone, but you because these books, Journeys, and Journals are my life's wisdom, and tools to allow you to connect, express, and be encouraged to Move Forward in Love! (TM) and find freedom living as just you!

AFTER SCHOOL OUTREACH- Please see our website and newsletter for other events Monday-Thursday: 2:30-5:30 We welcome students to come to Our House after school on Monday through Thursday for a healthy snack and help with their homework/tutoring. Monday & Wednesday, Kindergarten thru 2nd, 2:30-4:00 Tuesday & Thursday, 3rd and 5th, 2:30-4:00 Monday thru Thursday, Middle School (6th/7th) 3:30-5:30 This is NOT an after school program or babysitting, but rather an opportunity for children from the neighborhood to get help with homework and learn to be responsible for their assignments/studies. We intend to love, encourage and mentor “Our Kids” and help them gain confidence in their abilities to excel at school. Our House is equipped with a study hall that has six computers and internet, as well as a library filled with books for all levels of reading (Thank you, Pine Hills Literacy, Hudson Family Foundation and many others for the hundreds of new books that you donated to our ministry).. We have been blessed with many devoted college students and adults who make themselves available each day to help the children with their homework and to encourage good study habits. We also have a supply closet full of basic school supplies (e.g. pens, pencils, notebook paper, markers, and glue), as well as items such as poster board, construction paper, and string, which may be needed for special projects. Flash cards and dry erase boards are also available to help students with math or sight words for our younger friends. We are working closely with the teachers from the elementary and middle schools to stay abreast of the students’ assignments, test schedules and activities that arise during the year. A calendar in our kitchen keeps us up to date on what is going on in the schools, at Our House and in the community. We pray that our volunteers will develop strong relationships with those who come to Our House during the school year and that our active involvement in their studies will help them perform to the best of their abilities in school – and perhaps to even foster a love for learning. Contact us to volunteer at ourhouseauburn@gmail.com. Purpose: "We strive to show the love of Jesus to children and their families in our community, and to provide a Christ-centered, home environment in which they can grow spiritually, academically, and socially. As we spend time with neighbors, we pray that our loving, serving, and mentoring of men, women, and children will be a partnership with God to draw them into a personal relationship with His Son"

Reach Out and Read prepares America’s youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to prescribe books and encourage families to read together. Our program builds on the unique relationship between parents and medical providers to develop early reading skills in children. Doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals incorporate Reach Out and Read’s evidence-based model into regular well-child checkups by advising parents about the importance of reading aloud and giving developmentally-appropriate books to children to take home and keep. The program begins at the 6-month checkup and continues through age 5, with a special emphasis on children growing up in low-income families, where children are most at risk for reading failure. Every child in the program enters kindergarten with a home library of at least 10 books and parents who understand the importance of reading aloud.

Therefore we train everyday people on how to exercise their political power for social change targeting the root causes of poverty. Students who wish to volunteer with us will in essence, become the voice for the voiceless, and will learn how to speak to members of Congress, the media, and their communities to discuss solutions to global hunger & poverty: access to education, maternal & child health, vaccines and proper nutrition as crucial components to child survival, addressing the AIDS epidemic, and creating standards of excellence for microfinance.

When children and teens have the influence of a caring adult, they are more likely to avoid risky behaviors and to focus on academics. Today’s youth face a variety of challenges, and being matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister can help them navigate these challenges and reach their potential. We provide one-to-one mentoring for children in the community. We match children with a volunteer also known as a Big Brother or a Big Sister based on the gender of the child. We ask that our Big Brothers and Big Sisters, or “Bigs” spend at least 8 hours a month with his/her Little. We encourage the Bigs to incorporate the Little’s hobbies, as well as their own into fun, inexpensive activities to do with their mentees.

The Lovelady Center is a faith-based, 501©3 non-profit organization that currently house 375 women and approx. 110 children. However, it is much more than just a facility; it is a home, a school, a sanctuary, a medical clinic and a refuge. Each day at The Lovelady Center (TLC), women and their children’s lives are transformed as they break free of the bonds of substance abuse, criminal thinking, and cycles of domestic violence, homelessness and poverty. Rather than simply being a shelter, The Lovelady Center offers a 9-12 month program which transforms wounded lives and allows women to follow the path intended by God. Whether her past is stained by abuse, abandonment, or just homelessness, TLC serves as another chance for many women or in some cases, the first chance. You see, TLC’s program is based upon empowerment, hope, and a belief in the value of each human life. It is our mission to help women overcome their adversity so that they can go forward driven by faith, wisdom and solid determination. As a faith-based facility we rely on the faithful support of individuals, churches and business leaders, like you, to continue with our mission and quest to improve the lives of women and children.
