Review for Wings For LIFE International, Albuquerque, NM, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I began working with Wings while I was Program Director at Dismas House New Mexico, a transitional living facility for newly paroled individuals in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I knew the importance of having ex-offenders live in a positive environment with strong role models. At that time left out of the equation was the ex-offenders family.
Thanks to Wings Ministry, an arrangement was made to have program participants attend the Wings bi-monthly meetings with their family members. This coming together was a huge success. Dismas House program participants looked forward to the meetings. This gave them a chance to be with their loved ones and to experience positive moments together.
What I witnessed was encouraging. Wings Ministry provided a stable learning environment not only for the residents of Dismas House but for their family members. The workshops and dinners gave many something that had been missing from their lives, a safe haven within such a positive environment. The children felt safe and the family that was once torn apart by prison grew stronger through Wings Ministry.
I am thankful that Wings Ministry provides such an important service to families that need support in trouble times. I am thankful that Wings Ministry is now a national program and that others in faraway places can experience the joy and blessings that Wings Ministry shares.
