New Beginnings Homestead

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

The Need

We would like to invite you to come alongside and help us and the women who come to New Beginnings. You can do so by giving a one time gift or a monthly reoccurring gift.

Below are some common and immediate needs a person has when they first come to New Beginnings Homestead: 

  • Utilities (water, propane and electric)
  • Groceries
  • Clothing
  • Toiletries
  • Cell Phone
  • Counseling
  • Car/Transportation and Gas
