Relocate the Sinners: A Guide to Embracing Change
At Christ the True Light, I believe in the transformative power of faith and community. That conviction inspired Relocate the Sinners—a bold initiative to give individuals a true fresh start through collaboration among congregations across America.
This program offers more than relocation—it’s a 2–3 year journey of spiritual renewal, personal growth, and community connection. Each participant is paired with a host congregation in a completely different region, away from old surroundings and destructive influences. By immersing them in a supportive, faith-centered environment, we help them break free from the past and step into a brighter future.

Key Components
1. Central Hub for Connections
A unified, multi-denominational network will connect candidates with host congregations. The focus is on unity over denominational differences, ensuring each placement provides a fresh environment and avoids locations where participants already have personal connections.
2. Congregation Partnerships
Each congregation takes responsibility for mentoring, housing, and supporting the participant’s journey. Housing may range from a shared home to a modest furnished apartment—what matters most is safety, stability, and dignity.
3. Employment Opportunities
Where possible, churches with the capacity to provide safe, purpose-driven work will offer roles within their ministry. We avoid placing participants in environments that may trigger old habits or temptations, focusing instead on stability and growth.
4. Full Immersion Experience
Participants become fully integrated into church life—attending services, joining ministries, and engaging in fellowship. Reasonable expectations (like curfews when living with others) maintain harmony while allowing for personal expression.
5. Comprehensive Mentorship
Each participant will have two same-gender mentors who meet regularly for Bible study, personal check-ins, or shared activities. Mentorship is customized to the individual’s needs, interests, and goals.
6. Personal Development
Education, vocational training, and skills development are encouraged, helping participants build a solid foundation for life after the program.
7. Community Engagement
Active involvement in outreach projects strengthens connections and allows participants to give back while experiencing the joy of service.
