CURRENT OPPORTUNITIES AND FUTURE PROGRAMS

Volunteers have seen many positive results as God has worked through their efforts; however, there are opportunities to do more.  Servants' Touch Ministries has been approached by State agencies and community organizations to provide more services to at-risk youth.  In addition to the group home, Diamond Willow Discipleship Home (DWDH), we have acquired Master’s Touch Manufacturing (MTM). MTM provides not only the opportunity for youth to learn various carpentry skills, but it also helps support the ministry. The logical extension of our current ministry is to develop more avenues for at-risk youth and others needing help in the community, that the work begun inside the institution can continue after release.


Diamond Willow Discipleship Home for boys who are at least 14 years of age offers a family-like setting, while providing much-needed structure for learning to walk with Christ.  Each participant is expected to attend school and work part-time.  They are taught basic living skills, such as learning how to drive, manage time and plan a budget.  They also receive one-on-one discipleship and counseling, concerning issues that caused them trouble in the first place.


Our goal is to mirror successful, Christ centered programs which produce young men who contribute to the community, be encouraged to graduate from high school and possibly attend college – all the while reducing the rate of recidivism and the burden on our society.
