Our Mission

To help women who desperately want help. To disciple and equip those women to become secure in who they are in Christ, while rebuilding their lives through a personal relationship with Him. By offering a safe, 12-month family-like residential program, 24:7 Ministry to Women seeks to combine biblical teaching with domestic and job related skills in a closely supervised environment. This structured regeneration program is Christ-centered, providing a space for healing and restoration at our Holmes County location.

Our Goals

• A woman who completes the Regeneration Program has developed the skills necessary to attain independence and maintain self-sufficiency for herself and her children. 24:7 Ministry to Women will offer the Program to any woman meeting the admission criteria and expressing a sincere desire and commitment to life transformation on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.

History

Having been bathed in years of prayer, the 24:7 Ministry to Women began in 2015 as an outgrowth of local jail ministries provided by several area churches. All who conducted Bible studies, church services, or taught the Celebrate Recovery classes at the jails in Washington and Holmes Counties could see the need for a women’s regeneration program. Holmes/Washington Counties have minimal long-term treatment programs for women. As the ministry evolved over the years, hundreds of women at the jail have participated in the services provided by various churches in the area. Many of them have participated in the Celebrate Recovery classes taught by members of the Board of Directors of the 24:7 Ministry to Women, Inc. As the number of female inmates significantly increased in the Florida panhandle, the critical need for a women’s regeneration program became apparent. Female inmates must overcome unique social, emotional, and physical challenges that impede their ability to integrate smoothly back into society following a period of incarceration. Many women leave jail or prison with no place to go, no transportation, no job or source of income, no functional support group, and often have less than a high school education. Many of them return to jail or prison because they are ill-equipped to deal with the routine stresses of daily life in the community. Women caught in cycles of addiction, severe trauma, and/or trafficking often have limited support. Once a woman leaves the jail under such circumstances, having no other more appropriate or viable options, she typically returns to the same drug infested environment she came from, which often leads to more poor choices. The 24:7 Ministry to Women seeks to help women break the patterns of destructive lifestyles, restore hope, and rebuild broken lives. Once fully operational, 24:7 seeks to bridge this gap by offering a 12-month, structured, Christ-based, residential regeneration program at its Holmes County location for women struggling with addiction or needing to escape cycles of severe trauma and/or trafficking. Under the spiritual covering of First Baptist Bonifay, 24:7 Ministry to Women is led by missionary couple, Sam and Ramez, is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, and is a 501(c)(3) organization, deductions to which are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.
