There are gaps in our society: places where families and communities have failed. As God's people, there is only one response to the gap. STAND IN IT!Today, we are impacting the lives of more than 3000 orphans (Life Launch), widows and prisoners (Women in Transition) annually.We raise funds through generous donations from individuals, churches and businesses as well as various foundation partners.We do not offer handouts. Instead, through healthy relationships, education, and prayer, People in need are empowered to break unhealthy patterns in their lives and achieve self-reliance. We connect people in need with people who care.LIFE LAUNCH invests in the lives of at-risk young people. Our staff and volunteers support youth wherever they are and encourage them on their journey to independence and self-sufficiency.Stand in the Gap empowers the church to support WIDOWS in practical and emotional ways. Whether hosting regular widows-only social gatherings, providing practical needs, or facilitating small groups of widows, Stand in the Gap provides tested and proven methods to help widows adjust to life after loss.WOMEN IN TRANSITION staff (all formerly incarcerated women) teach our Women in Transition curriculum inside seven Oklahoma prisons and jails. Our course facilitators share their personal stories as well as practical education about: anger management,the power of "no", characteristics of co-dependency, dealing with stress, communication skills, facing addiction, and more.After a woman is released, our course facilitators provide one-on-one mentorship support to ensure that course graduates are willing to follow through on their commitment to life change.SITGM recruits and trains a small group of volunteers to come around a woman who is actively pursuing a healthy life after incarceration. A small group walks with a woman through her transition process, offering encouragement, mentoring, and most importantly, providing prayer support.
