TRANSFORMING LIVES
THROUGH FAITH AND RECOVERY
Learn About Our Mission to Help Men Overcome Addiction and Find Purpose
The Mission Men program uses faith and community to transform lives broken by addiction. Our year-long residential program replaces addiction with purpose and hope. Men find strength in faith and brotherhood to overcome substance abuse while building a foundation for a sober life.
The program focuses on healing through faith, work and accountability. Residents attend daily devotions and church services, learning to rely on God to overcome their addiction. The program is self pay and each man works. This develops a strong work ethic and all while helping to fund their own recovery. Residents support each other through small groups and Christ centered community service.

Beyond faith and work, Mission Men provides practical tools for independent living. Residents take classes on life skills, job readiness, financial literacy and anger management. They meet with counselors and life coaches to set goals. The program also matches residents with mentors for support after graduation.
Most importantly, Mission Men addresses the root causes fueling addiction. Many come from lives lacking stability, purpose or belonging. The program provides all three: a steady routine, meaningful work and a community that feels like family. Residents leave prepared not just to live sober but to thrive.
Your support makes stories of transformation possible. You provide means of rescue and empowerment, allowing men bound by addiction to find freedom in faith and community. Together, we can break the chains of substance abuse and equip men with faith and skills to lead purposeful, independent lives.

Unlocking the Power of Faith-Based Recovery: A Lifeline for Those in Need
Learn About Our Mission to Help Men Overcome Addiction and Find Purpose
America faces an addiction crisis of tragic proportions. Nearly 1 in 10 Americans struggle with substance abuse, involving either alcohol or drugs. This includes over 2 million people addicted to prescription opioids alone.
However, faith offers hope. Overwhelming evidence shows that spiritual faith and religious practice significantly reduce risks of addiction and support recovery. Among 86% of over 278 studies, faith lowered risks of alcohol abuse. Youth and adults who value faith and attend services regularly have much lower rates of substance abuse. Adults without faith are over 3 times more likely to binge drink and 4 times more likely to use illicit drugs.
People of faith struggling with prescription opioids are less prone to abusing multiple substances. The impact of faith even has lasting power; frequent religious attendance at midlife predicted less alcoholism and greater well-being at age 70.
In short, faith works. It offers hope and healing for those struggling with addiction. Supporting our faith-based program provides a lifeline for people trapped in substance abuse and seeking the strength, community and purpose to achieve lasting sobriety. Together, we can help lift others out of addiction through the power of Christ and save lives.

The Mission facility is rooted in the legacy of the Bryan Foods building, established in West Point, Mississippi. Originally a hub for meat processing, the building played a vital role in the local economy until the Bryan Foods/Sara Lee organization closed its doors in 2007.
In 2010, Brother Dickie Bryan, inspired by a vision to help men struggling with addiction, reopened the facility, transforming it into a center dedicated to discipleship and rehabilitation. This shift marked a new chapter, focusing on spiritual growth, personal development, and community service.
Today, The Mission serves as a haven for individuals seeking support and guidance. Through various programs and services, it emphasizes faith-based teachings and practical skills, helping men rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society. The Mission continues to honor its historical roots while fostering hope and change in the community.
