Never2scarred

Never2scarred is a 12-month Christ-centered faith-based recovery program helping women overcome addiction through the love of Jesus Christ! We strive to keep hope alive one life at a time. While in the program the ladies are provided with everything they need (food, medical, dental, hygiene, clothing) and most importantly the word of God. The ladies start their day every morning with devotions together at the table. They also have bible study classes Monday-Friday with teachers like Dr. Rocky Branch, Janice Branch, Marianne Jones, Becky Workman, Ruthie Laney, Lisa Pittman, Camille Gouge, and Debbie Ford. Praise and worship along with soaking in prayer is led by Wendy Ellis. The ladies help out with our fundraising events and they also give back to our community by volunteering at local VBS and community outreach events. They also work with Baptist on Mission helping our community recover from Helene with Linda and Sid Pitman. Most importantly is their alone time with Jesus, because he is the only one who can heal and restore us from our brokenness.
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19
What God has done through our program since April of 2022:
We have served 35 ladies
We’ve had 14 ladies to graduate
3 accepted Christ
9 rededicate their life to Christ
14 have been baptized
2 ladies are back working in the program,
5 of the ladies are now living in Mitchell County and working jobs here in Mitchell and Avery County
5 are being or have been reunited with their kids and their families!l
1 has gotten her GED
2 are currently in School at Mayland Community College
I have seen God work miracles like, Reuniting families, restoring relationships, simultaneously baptizing moms with their children while holding hands as they were submerged in the water,
Mothers and their children give their lives to Christ. Our community supports these ladies in many different ways like supporting us financially, with supplies for the house, through prayer, encouragement, volunteering, and taking time to just listen to these ladies, sharing their own testimonies with the ladies of where God brought them from and just love on them right where they are!
“The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.” John 6:63 NIV
