This quarter has been filled with exciting progress, meaningful service, and life-changing moments at Safe Harbor Bucksnort. Through God's faithfulness, we continue to see our campus grow, our ministry expand, and the men in our program take incredible steps toward lasting recovery.
We kicked off the Fourth of July by bringing everyone together for a cookout and fireworks celebration. It was a wonderful opportunity for fellowship, laughter, and creating positive memories as a community.
Our transportation department also grew this quarter with the addition of Van #239, allowing us to better serve the increasing needs of our program by safely transporting clients to work, appointments, church, and recovery events.
Several improvements were made across the campus. The chapel bathroom was completely renovated and now features a new tankless water heater. To ensure our worship services continue uninterrupted during severe weather, a backup generator was installed at the chapel. We also began developing a nature walking trail behind the facility, giving our clients a peaceful place to pray, reflect, and enjoy God's creation.
Community engagement remains an important part of recovery at Safe Harbor. Our men continued volunteering with Project 615 in Nashville, serving those experiencing homelessness and demonstrating the importance of giving back. They also attended a Recovery Wrestling event in Waverly and worshipped together at the Stephen McWhirter Recovery Concert in Jackson, where they experienced encouragement, fellowship, and powerful testimonies of hope.
The greatest victories this quarter came through transformed lives. We celebrated 19 baptisms, witnessing men publicly profess their faith in Jesus Christ. In addition, 14 clients advanced to Phase Five, marking a significant milestone as they continue preparing for graduation and successful independent living.
We also welcomed several new team members this quarter. Their dedication and experience strengthen our mission and help us better serve every man who enters our doors.
Our website has a fresh new look. We invite you to explore the updated pages, learn more about our programs and services, meet our team, and see how Safe Harbor is making a difference in the community.
As we look ahead, we remain thankful for God's continued blessings and for the many supporters, churches, volunteers, and community partners who make this ministry possible. Every improvement to our campus, every man who advances in recovery, and every life changed reminds us why Safe Harbor exists, to provide a safe place to Worship, Work, and Recover.
