I live in Duluth, GA and have known Gregg Kennard (Pastor of this ministry/rehab organization) for over a year now. Note that I was raised in the Roman Catholic church, and am now in my mid-50s. Gregg and his wife Pam are two of the most selfless, sincere, compassionate human beings I've ever met. Nspire Outreach - their non-profit organization - helps the homeless and victims of domestic abuse regardless of age, race, gender, or sexual orientation using a truly comprehensive, multi-faceted approach..

Yes - this is a Christian ministry - and there are rules that must be followed by those who are accepted into the program. These include living arrangements and work requirements. In return, many resources are provided to the participants including counseling services and assistance with job training. I can also assure you that - contrary to some other comments here - Gregg and Pam are NOT getting rich off this program. It is the furthest thing from a scam. They do raise much of their operating budget from collections of donated clothing which is then sold at local thrift stores. This of course requires outreach in the form of phone calls to potential donors of clothing and other items. It's simply the nature of the model on which this wonderful organization operates.

Honesty, integrity and commitment to the life principles taught by Jesus Christ are the core values of Nspire and its leadership. Though not a participant in the program, I have personally been attending Sunday worship services here for over a year. I can't adequately express in words how uplifting and enriching this experience has been for me.

Gregg is not bound by any church dogma, and teaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ with his ACTIONS and his words as well as or better than any Catholic priest or other minister of any denomination I have ever encountered. Never in my life have I experienced a more impressive and effective ministry as this. I've also personally spoken with many whose lives have been transformed for the better by Gregg and this God-inspired program.

As with anything worthwhile, it requires a commitment on the part of the participant and a willingness to leave old habits and ways of thinking behind. It is not a cake-walk. But it is also the single most effective program of its type I have ever seen.
