The Prodigal Son’s New Life Ministry was a vision laid on the founder-Randy Ryan's heart along with a brother of his more than seven years ago. The vision was for a Christ-centered house for men who have graduated from rehabilitation treatment programs whom either do not want to go back to where they are from or truly desire a fresh start, building a new life on the foundation of Christ.

            Although the vision was placed on the back burner at the time – God is always working in every circumstance and in his own time. We know that the experiences God has brought us through and shown us have taught us what we needed to know for the seasons ahead of us.

            The Prodigal Son’s New Life Ministry is not merely a traditional “halfway house” with simple regulations, a curfew and random drug screenings. We desire and walk out the principle of esteeming others above ourselves which drives us to go beyond the bare minimum structure of a halfway house. We want to not only teach men spiritual maturity in Christ, but to give them the passion to help the next man before themselves – to walk in the stewardship we are called to; only by God’s grace.

           We have come to know and walk in this truth; not only is grace God’s unmerited favor – it is His power to do in us and through us what we are unable to do within ourselves. However, it is only when we surrender our pride and esteem our brother above ourselves- despite whom the world has labeled them as, even despite what they make think of themselves as, only then can we effectively walk in this grace. It is walking and living empowered by this grace that has given us this passion, to help those whom society has written off to grow into the Pauls and Timothys of our generation.
