CASE FOR SUPPORT

Our Programs

Friendship House of Jesus is a year round, non-denominational, after-school and summer program with branch locations in Bainbridge and Donalsonville, Georgia. Friendship House offers free services to children in low-income families to help offset the negative influence of poverty in their lives. We accomplish this through a combination of academic and spiritual support, physical and arts education, and practical life and job-skills training. Friendship House of Jesus has been giving thousands of children and youth a strong spiritual foundation and has been providing positive life skills in a safe and loving environment since 1991.

Still Waters is a faith-based home for women and their children located in Bainbridge, Georgia. Still Waters offers free services to displaced women in vulnerable situations. We accomplish this through providing a safe, loving environment that offers a strategic plan for the women to grow spiritually, emotionally and financially. Still Waters has been giving its women and their children in Southwest Georgia a positive, safe space to grow and attain essential life and job skills training since 2013.

A Unique Ministry

In 1991, founder, Jane Lesuer, ventured off the comfortable path and into her local community with a "Bible and a blanket" for weekend Bible studies with around 20 youth. Today, Friends Ministries has expanded into a year round after-school and summer program for at-risk children and youth, a housing program for displaced women and a social enterprise that creates jobs and tax revenue for participating communities.
