Suzanne Sewell, Chairman, Good Samaritan Network

When life falls completely apart, where do you go to heal? In this episode, Suzanne Sewell shares how the Good Samaritan Network is moving beyond the traditional concept of a temporary homeless shelter to provide structured, faith-based programs that guide individuals toward true independence. Discover how their men's reentry initiative achieves a remarkably low recidivism rate, why the crisis facing homeless women and children requires urgent community action, and how a local thrift store is funding a massive kingdom impact. -- The Good Samaritan Network is seeking to raise 100,000 dollars at their upcoming August 20th banquet at the Carriage House to fund a down payment for an expanded women's residential facility. -- While the men's program currently supports over 40 beds with an impressive 8 to 10 percent recidivism rate, the women's program faces a massive shortage, receiving over 500 crisis calls a year for only 7 available beds. -- The program emphasizes deep spiritual transformation, structured goal setting, accountability, and practical work-skill observation through their local thrift store rather than simply offering a short term shelter.
