We love to watch as the Lord will so often connect so many different puzzle pieces for His glory! We want to share with you a testimony written by Wanda Kohn, our Pregnancy & Family Care Center Director. "Barbie was leaving her job at LifeStream in early December when I ran into her in the parking lot. I was with a client seeking help and she was kind enough to direct us. It was apparent that she had much compassion for others and loved Jesus so, in our conversation, we exch

While this week’s warm weather is a nice break, we all know that Florida has had some cooler temperatures these past couple of months. Here are some pictures of our Men’s Residence providing food and warmth to the homeless during the near freezing temperatures of these recent days. What a blessing it is to be able to reach out in so many tangible ways as we seek to Meet Needs and Share Christ, in an effort to see lives transformed! CLICK HERE to give online or CLICK HERE to s

At the Women’s Care Center, we are blessed with many loving volunteers that pour into our ladies. It is also a privilege when we have some of our former residents come back and share what God is doing in their lives. Recently, we have had the pleasure of seeing two graduates return, share testimonies and begin Bible studies with the ladies. It is a wonderful opportunity to offer the message of hope and show the ladies an up-close-and-personal look at how God does change he

Over the past weekend, some of our Samaritan Inn boys were able to enjoy a night out in Orlando experiencing a first!! To start the night off, we all enjoyed a meal at Chick-fil-A. After we filled our bellies, we took the boys to learn to ice skate and watch our Director, John Draxinger, compete in an ice hockey game!! Though there were a few spills here and there, overall, they did exceptionally well. It was amazing to see the smiles on their faces, and we hope to see many m

Even with the holiday yesterday, some of our Benevolence volunteers expressed a desire to come in and work around our Benevolence Center – cleaning, organizing, washing and many other things!

Our Samaritan Inn Director John Draxinger, had a sweet testimony this past Tuesday, and we wanted to share it with you! John shares, “(I) walked into work this morning and Paliloa (on left) quoted Proverbs 3:1 for me, which says, “My son forget not my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments.” This is a huge win!! He told me how excited he was about his new Bible!! When they left for school this morning, they talked about how they were going to take it in to class

Pictured above are three of our Pregnancy & Family Care Center volunteers preparing for our annual Baby Bottle Boomerang! Through this yearly event, participants take home a baby bottle and fill it with change, dollars and even checks! These baby bottles are then turned back in, and every penny collected goes to support our Pregnancy & Family Care Center as we seek to defend life and speak out for those who have no voice! If your church is interested in participating, please

God really does work in mysterious ways, and it is so encouraging to see how He always has a plan before we know we have a need! Our Pregnancy & Family Care Center recently went through some staffing changes, as our Assistant Director felt the Lord leading her in a different direction. Right when this happened, our PFCC Director, Wanda, received an interesting text. Read what Wanda shared with us: “I was afraid that finding another Assistant Director might take a long time, b

Over the Christmas holiday, Mrs. Bennett’s Art classes from First Academy made Christmas cards for each of our residents! We are so thankful to Mrs. Bennett and her students who took the time to love on our residents! As we dive into 2019, we cannot help but look back with gratitude for the many ways the Lord blessed us in 2018. So many people reached out and took part in the many things that the Lord is doing on our campus, and we are so thankful! Happy New Year from all of

God’s timing is always perfect. Our Benevolence Center was low on food just because of how busy we have been. Last Friday, right when we were getting so low on food, First Academy pulled into our parking lot with donations they had taken up in a food drive! Yes, God provides for all our needs in His perfect timing! We at the Christian Care Center are constantly amazed at how God takes care of us through stories such as this one. He uses so many people on our campus, week in a

We have recently learned of a very special gift that is coming our way, and specifically to the Samaritan Inn, this Christmas. Recently Tina Siemsen, a lady from Fruitland Park, contacted SI Director John Draxinger, expressing a desire to come up to the Samaritan Inn on Christmas Day to bring gifts and prepare a meal to share with our residents! Not only is she bringing her family, but she has a total of 30 people signed up to come serve our residents that day! The Orlando S

This week, these kids have warm beds to sleep in as directors of the Samaritan Inn and the Pregnancy & Family Care Center came together to fill a need for these children. Both of these ministries have been reaching out to their Mother, and she is so grateful for the help! She has been working two jobs to make ends meet - it’s been difficult but not impossible as Christians come alongside of her to help her. What a privilege it is for us here at the Christian Care Center to

There were over 20 children who are a part of the TAG program at First Baptist Leesburg who worked on this project this fall. They painted ceramic nativity scenes for the Pregnancy & Family Care Center as well as the Men’s Residence. What a blessing to see how these children are using their talents to glorify the Lord and encourage others in the process! Please join us in praying that through special projects like this one, these children will grow to love Jesus more! CLICK H

December is nearly halfway over, and you likely find yourself overwhelmed with parties, presents, gift wrappings, schedules and plans for some delicious meals.

God always supplies exactly what we need, exactly when we need it. With this in mind, the Samaritan Inn would like to take a few moments to recognize one of our special volunteers. Meet Fred Cory; he and his wife, Elizabeth, moved to Florida from Michigan in October of 2017. They are currently members of the Village Park Campus of FBC Leesburg, and Fred has been volunteering with us for the past several months. Though he expects no recognition for his service, we wanted him t

This past summer, this beautiful family enjoyed a wonderful week at Disney! The Samaritan Inn would like to give a special thanks to all that contributed to this amazing week of Disney fun for Mr. Norman and his son, Brandon. Through a group effort from various directors, staff, and members of the church, they were sent away with everything they needed for an exciting week!! They were overly thankful and told us they couldn’t have had a better time!! Mr. Norman has been on

“What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and filled,’ without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also, faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” James 2:14-17 Recently, we had to find a new preschool for Jamison. For any parent, this can be a daun

A few weeks ago, Charlene, who counsels the residents at our Women’s Care Center, had a special class with them where they made crowns…as they are daughters of the King!
