Project L.I.F.E. (Living Independent and Free Everyday) is The L.I.V.I.N.G. Ministry’s brand new residential program. The goal of this program is to help faciliate spiritual, emotional, and social growth within men who have previously been homeless or without shelter.

After visiting the various shelters in Pittsburgh over the past 7 years, it was fairly evident that many of the people who found themselves homeless did not want to stay that way. They wanted to develop their relationship with God and others, and they wanted their life to have purpose and meaning. The problem was that these men did not have the means to go about acquiring these things. So all they had were unfilled dreams and aspirations with no hope of achieving them.
|
Project L.I.F.E. is an initiative that seeks to change that cycle. This project will give men the opportunity to live in Christian community, while receiving all the tools they would need to serve God to the fullest and utilize their gifts to the maximum.

In 2006, The L.I.V.I.N.G. purchased 2536 Maple Avenue on the Northside of Pittsburgh. This huge 3-story house will serve as the headquarters of the ministry as well as the home of Project L.I.F.E. Over the past 3 years, the ministry has been working to renovate the house so that the first guys can move in. Often on Saturdays, we held workdays at the house where volunteers can come and help us with the house renovations.

We are excited to have been able to start Project L.I.F.E. on November 2nd, 2009! The 4 men in the program are doing well, and we hope that continues. In May of 2009, we bought a second house right next door, where we hope to provide even more opportunities for housing.|
