Our Mission:

We have been called as a ministry to provide a Homestead for the young, vulnerable women that leave the Amish culture. We want to give them a place they can land, feel safe, and get the help they need to succeed on their own.

The ministry provides basic Life Skills such as:

Learn new cultural norms and social skills
Apply for birth records and social security numbers
Take driving lessons
Train for interviews and seek employment
Study for GED testing
Receive discipleship and counseling
Learn about financial management

In this video, Katrina Given talks about the decision to leave her Amish family, how she found New Beginnings and Beyond Measure Market, and how those organizations helped her to change her life.

“ Joe and Esther, it surely was good to have you with us two weeks ago! We love the two of you very much, you are precious to us. Your presentation was EXCELLENT! It makes us proud, like parents! The spirit of both of you is so sweet-it is easy to tell that you love the Lord with all your hearts. How wonderful, and praise the Lord! ” - Shinglehouse, PA
