Our Executive Director

Kim Crawford

After 35+ years of experience in administration and serving the public, God redirected Kim’s life into full-time ministry using her career experience as preparation for the mission.  Kim has loved serving in her local church for more than 30 years. In 2012, she was given the opportunity to begin a weekly Bible Study with the women at the county jail.  This ministry immediately captured her heart.  It quickly expanded to mentoring and discipleship with women after they were released, but many women need more intensive help.  The vision for the women’s residential recovery home began to stir in her heart.  In 2019, it was time to move on from her career with USDA/FSA and step into the vision.   In Kim’s words, “It is a humbling privilege to have these women share their stories with me and allow me to share the good news of freedom, a fresh start, and a future that Jesus has for each of them.  Just telling them isn’t enough.  We have to walk with them until they have a solid foundation of faith and life reestablishment.  I am blessed to have become life-time friends with some of the most amazing women on their journey!”
