Our Mission…
…to be a Refuge that will Revive and then Release.
“We want to offer services that provide safety, enable our youth to flourish by recovering and healing from their traumas so they can be thriving citizens who strengthen their communities.”
- Elisha St James, LHM Founder
"You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance" - Psalm 32:7
Our mission is to encourage our teens to view God as their current, active refuge through prayer. We aim to help them rely on His protection during difficult times and replace anxiety with praise. We want to demonstrate how to discover emotional safety in His presence and trust in His guidance to navigate life's challenges.
"You... will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again." - Psalm 71:20-21
Our mission is to help our teens develop a strong trust in God, believing that He will restore them, offer comebacks, and provide solace after experiencing deep distress or setbacks. This involves having faith that God will lift them from the "depths of the earth", elevate their honor or "greatness," and fortify them following their trials.
“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” - Isaiah 61:1
Our mission is to help our teens understand that their purpose is rooted in embodying Christ’s mission. This involves bringing hope to the brokenhearted, offering freedom to those in bondage, and sharing good news with the poor. It means being empowered by the Spirit to restore, uplift, and advocate for individuals in both spiritual and physical need, delivering God’s comfort to a hurting world.
"We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done" - Psalm 78:4
Our mission focuses on embodying a Biblical legacy by prioritizing the transmission of faith, righteousness, and wisdom to future generations rather than just accumulating wealth. We aim to share stories of God's faithfulness with youth, addressing their spiritual needs and teaching them spiritual history and truths. This empowers them to place their hope in God and pass on these values to the next generation.
