Programs: Carriage town ministries has 120 beds (the most in the county) for men women and children in need. In 2017 we provided over 42,000 nights of rest, distributed over 142,000 meals, and provided 177,014 pieces of clothing free of charge. The lafia learning center has twenty internet-connected computer workstations open to residents and the community and sees 100 students each month. Students use the center to learn microsoft office skills, to sharpen reading skills, perform job searches, access online learning resources, and stay connected with others through email. For those who are hungry, we provide something to eat; for those who are thirsty, something to drink; for those who need a place to stay, we provide a home; for those who need clothing, a coat (continued on schedule o) to keep them warm; and for those who are sick, a free walk-in clinic is provided each week. The gospel of christ is taught daily through word, deed, devotionals and church services. In addition to the ctm cafe, clothing distribution and educational opportunities, residents are given the chance to create a personal success plan. This is a mentored, goal- oriented program that enables individuals to grow spiritually, academically, and vocationally. This is facilitated through mentoring, classroom work, life skills training, and connection to local social services. Many local service providers are invited to provide onsite access to our campus to inform residents and dinner guests about local services available to them. We are a campus of learning and restoration in flint's historic carriage town neighborhood. Visitors and residents find a haven of safety and acceptance, learning and responsibility, structure and productivity. A place where jesus is lifted up as lord and savior and love and acceptance is shown to all people of all faiths or no faith, a place to find new birth, a sense of purpose for today and hope for tomorrow.
