This past weekend, Chuck graduated!

When he first came to us, he was deeply broken. By God’s grace, we’ve had the privilege of witnessing the transforming work of Christ in his life—renewing him from the inside out. This is a powerful reminder that Jesus truly makes all things new.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17

As we close out 2025, our hearts are full.

God has been so faithful to Lazarus Life Ministries this year. It’s been busy, stretching, and deeply rewarding—filled with growth, new milestones, and moments we will never forget. As we look back, a few highlights stand out:

- We took our very first overnight trip with the men—creating memories, building brotherhood, and stepping outside our comfort zones together.

- Our residents and staff volunteered hundreds of hours at Risen Thrift, serving faithfully and learning the joy of giving back.

- We became Ohio Recovery Housing Certified, strengthening the quality, accountability, and credibility of the care we provide.

- Most of our staff earned their CDCA certifications, equipping them to serve with greater skill, wisdom, and compassion.

But above all of these accomplishments, the greatest joy of 2025 has been witnessing men respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ—seeing lives transformed, chains broken, and hearts made new. There is nothing more powerful than watching God bring dead things to life.

As we step into 2026, we are praying boldly. May this be a year of hope in the addicted community. A year where many are rescued, restored, and raised to new life in Christ.

To God be the glory for all He has done—and for all He is going to do.

This ministry exists because generous individuals, families, churches, and businesses believe in redemption. Your partnership makes real, lasting transformation possible for men seeking freedom in Christ.

Each year, our Annual Fundraiser is one of the most meaningful nights we share together. It isn’t just about raising funds—it’s a night of worship, honest stories, and renewed hope. Families impacted by addiction find encouragement, and those still struggling are reminded that they are not alone and that change is possible.

As we prepare for our 2026 Annual Fundraiser, we are inviting sponsors who want to be part of something that truly matters. If you would consider partnering with us in this way, we would love to connect with you!

The Gospel is far more than the message that saves me. Yes, it rescues sinners, forgives guilt, and gives us eternal life—but it doesn’t stop there.

The same Gospel that reconciles us to God also reshapes the way we live with one another. It transforms marriages, heals broken families, restores friendships, breaks cycles of bitterness, and teaches us how to love, forgive, and serve as Christ has loved us.

When the Gospel truly takes root, it doesn’t just change where we’re going someday—it changes who we are and how we relate to people right now.

This is the beauty of the Gospel: it saves individuals and creates a redeemed people, living out the grace we’ve received for the glory of God.

We want to take a moment to express our deep gratitude for our friends at Risen Thrift.

Their partnership has been far more than financial support—it’s been ministry. It’s been discipleship.

Risen Thrift has opened its doors and created a safe place where the men in our program can serve, grow, and rebuild. Through volunteering, they are learning responsibility, discovering a healthy work ethic, and experiencing the joy of giving back to a community that is standing with them.

When you shop or donate at Risen Thrift, you aren’t just finding a great deal—you’re investing in real lives and real transformation.

If you’re in the area, we encourage you to stop by and support them.
