We
work with those in recovery from addiction or coming out of tough life
situations by addressing the needs of the whole man and providing a
comprehensive approach to recovery. |

Vision We
understand that Truth and Life are found not in an idea but in a
person. Jesus Christ said: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No
one comes to the Father but through Me" (John 14:6). The Timothy
Initiative, therefore, believes in uniting broken individuals with a
person and not just a program. We hold to these key values found
through a relationship with Jesus. Life:
We seek to introduce men to the Life that is in Jesus Christ, teaching
that the life we have been given through Him was meant to be lived
fully. For some, it will mean living truly for the first time. Truth:
We seek to introduce men to the Truth that is in Jesus Christ, exposing
the spiritual and emotional deception behind addiction and the denial
that allows such a lifestyle to continue, Reconciliation: We seek to help restore broken relationships with parents, families, or friends or to assist in developing relationships with family that may never have been present. Hope: We seek to show that living free from pain, isolation, addiction, depression, fear, and despair is possible in Christ. We also work to see light and life shine in the eyes of the lost, to see hope given to the hopeless and futures to those who have been pronounced dead by society. Community: We seek to walk side by side with these individuals through the pain and darkness of the only life some have ever known and to reach out a helping hand as they cross over into a new life Discipleship: We seek to disciple those who are sincere in wanting a new life, to lead and lift them the best we can through all of the struggles of this life. We also desire to see disciples make disciples of their own as they continue to grow with Jesus. Comprehensive care: We seek to defend and care for the lives of the castaway, the unknown, society’s throw-away by providing a sense of belonging, self esteem, security, and love, as well attending to practical, everyday needs. |
Comprehensive approach:
Future - Through our focus on inner healing and relational restoration, we hope to see families broken by addiction or any other darkness find healing through the love and power of Christ. |
