It all began in 1993 when God called the Founder of Reconciliation House, Angela Johnson to serve in the prison ministry and she answered yes, then in 1996 she began to remember a dream she had as a youth to house hurting people in a big house. The dreams lead to a writing of the vision and a challenge from her mentor the founder of Last Call if you could do anything for the people you serve in the prison population what would it be? The answer was give them a place where they could receive discipleship and the Love of God to heal them thereby empowering them to have faith to forgive, trust, overcome personal obstacles and limitations and adopt a zeal for advancement by focusing on every dimension of their existence thereby ministering to the total being, heart, mind, soul and strength (spiritual, social, physical and psychological). As soon as I answered we started getting clients and we saw the reconciliation concept that God had given begin to work, then being moved to find a larger place to house this ministry is when the ministry moved to Middle Georgia on 53 acres with great potential to become the Ministry complex written in the vision statement. She is supported by her wonderful husband of twenty five years and her two children, and a host of others in this ministry.
She has since run women's bible studies on marriage, being a woman, spoken at women's conferences locally and abroad, also founded the H.U.G. (Helps Ugly Go) ministry and an intercessory and pen pal club for inmates and their families, she continues to volunteer as a Chaplain in the jail system. She is an ordained minister with The Last Call World Outreach Mission and serves on their board of directors also served on the board of directors for Macon Coalition to End Homelessness she has been a member of the Middle GA association of Clergy Women Serves as co-Pastor to her husband for Fuego Ministries, and is a graduate of Interfaith University in Macon Georgia.
