Family Shelter
Hope for Families
The Good News Family Shelter provides a safe, supportive environment for women and their children. The shelter serves families experiencing challenges such as addiction, emotional trauma, and financial hardship.
Residents live in apartment-style housing where they care for their own daily needs while contributing to the upkeep of the facility. They participate in evening programs that promote life skills, addiction recovery, wellness, and spiritual growth through weekly Bible studies and off-site church services.
The shelter also offers personalized support, including job readiness and other practical assistance, to help women work toward long-term stability and independence.
Faces of Hope
Meet Beverly
Once consumed by addiction and described as unapproachable and unloving, Beverley’s life has been transformed through faith and recovery. After decades of alcoholism that cost her everything—her home, family, and peace—she found hope through Recovering LIFE, a faith-based program launched at the Good News campus in 2024. Now ten years sober, Beverley has restored relationships with her children and grandchildren, secured stable housing, and devotes her time to serving others in need. Her renewed life is a testimony to God’s grace and the power of community support.
Providing Hope Through…
Women who come to the Family Shelter are usually battling the deep wounds of addiction—often tied to trauma, abuse or years of instability. At Good News Ministries, we believe true healing is possible through Christ, and our Recovering Life program is designed to walk women through that journey with grace, truth and support.
Recovering Life is a Christ-centered recovery program that addresses the root causes of addiction while equipping women with tools for lasting freedom. It combines biblical principles, accountability and practical support to help each woman break destructive cycles and begin building a new life.
Many women who come to the Family Shelter have never had the opportunity to learn essential life skills that build confidence and stability. Our Life Skills Training is designed to fill that gap—equipping each woman with practical tools to manage daily life and move toward independence.
At the heart of everything we do is the desire to see lives transformed by the power of the Gospel. Spiritual growth is not just an optional part of the program—it’s a vital source of hope, healing, and long-term change.
We recognize that many of the women who come to us are spiritually weary, wounded, or searching. Some have never heard the Gospel clearly, while others may have wandered from faith in the face of life’s hardships. Our goal is to lovingly reintroduce them to the truth of God’s Word and the life-changing love of Jesus Christ.
We care deeply about the physical, emotional and mental well-being of every woman we serve. Many arrive with untreated health conditions, emotional trauma and chronic stress from years of instability. Our Health & Wellness support is designed to address the whole person—helping each woman build strength and stability from the inside out. Resources are made available through our Health Clinic and other local partnerships.
Equipping women for long-term success means more than just meeting immediate needs—it means helping them build the skills and confidence to support themselves and their families. These services are designed to guide each woman from unemployment or underemployment toward stable, meaningful work.
