Program Description
The Fresh Start program is a mission project that churches all over the world should embrace and implement to encourage single mothers and their children on this journey called life. This is a very detailed, well written and dynamic program that without a doubt will be a lifesaver for many of its participants. I applaud all of the contributors of this fine and much-needed program.

A Fresh Start for Single Mothers and Their Children program offers community, hope, life skills, and encouragement to women who are handling the tremendous burden of raising children on their own. It provides the local church hands-on interaction with the families they are helping. It’s success is proven with many heartwarming personal stories of changed lives.

Single Parent Ministry Director for Crown Financial Ministries
A Fresh Start For Single Mothers And Their Children, Community Outreach Mission Project is truly a ministry that every church should be invovled with. The Psalms says: Open the eyes of our Heart, Oh Lord and when our eyes are opened to the needs of others, it’s almost impossible not to be moved. However, we need to be trained, guided and helped to properly minister. A Fresh Start for Single Mothers and Their Children does just that. I am honored to have met the author and review the entire Fresh Start curriculum. God Bless you and your ministry!

One our ambitions is that the Fresh Start program will be able to reach the multitude of single mothers and their children who are alone, desperate, lacking direction, brokenhearted and devoid of hope.
Offering these families a refuge through the Fresh Start program into an environment where they will not be judged but encouraged and supported.
Presently there are 14 million single mothers in the United States, the demand for the Fresh Start program has been overwhelming and because of it’s past track record of success in Virginia
B.E.T.H.E.L. Ministries feels it should be promoted and made available to as many single mothers and children across the country as possible.
