The couples that serve on campus have a 21-day on 9-day off schedule. These positions require high energy, a sense of humor, flexibility, ability to deescalate, and excellent organizational skills to meet the demands of a large family.

We are a faith-based, Christian children's home located just outside of the Hattiesburg, Mississippi metro area (Purvis). Hattiesburg is midway between New Orleans and Mobile, just 75 miles from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Greater Hattiesburg is home to two universities, two junior colleges and has been named the most-educated city in Mississippi. The Greater Hattiesburg area has all the benefits of a large metropolitan city but still feels like a small town, full of Southern hospitality and charm and is home to NFL star, Brett Favre.

We are unique - it is totally supported by private donations. We are not a foster home and do not take money from any federal or state sources, we are a permanent home to the children who reside in one of seven cottages on campus. We fights legal battles to gain custody of these children in order to provide them a permanent, stable and loving home.
