Dedicated individuals committed to serving our community with compassion
Kenny Ball - President/Visionary
After more than 20 years lost in addiction, homelessness, and repeated near-death experiences, Kenny reached a place where he had nothing left but to cry out to God. What followed was a complete transformation.
Through faith, recovery, and God’s grace, his life was rebuilt from the ground up.Today, Kenny has a restored relationship with his children, a God-centered marriage, and the privilege of leading others through the same kind of recovery that once saved his life. What was once broken has been made new.
Kendra Ball - Certified Life Coach/Health Director
After walking through a seven-year battle with an eating disorder, Kendra learned firsthand that restoration is possible and that God meets us even in our deepest brokenness. What once felt like defeat became a testimony of His faithfulness and mercy.
Kendra’s life is rooted in her love for God, who is the foundation of who she is and the guide for how she lives. She is deeply grateful for her husband, whom she loves wholeheartedly, and for the gift of marriage that reflects patience, commitment, and grace.Today, Kendra lives with gratitude and a deep desire to honor God in all things, carrying her story as evidence that healing, hope, and new life are always within reach.
Michael Marx - Director of Operations/Pastor
Michael Marx grew up in a single-parent home without knowing who his father was until he was eight years old. That absence left him with a deep desire for acceptance and belonging, which eventually led him toward the wrong crowd. He began using drugs at 13 and spent more than 15 years in addiction, including a long struggle with crack cocaine that ultimately left him homeless on the streets of West Palm Beach, Florida.In 2005, Michael reached out to his father for help and entered Teen Challenge.
There, he began seriously reading the Bible and encountered the truth of God as “a Father to the fatherless.” Michael came to understand that God had never abandoned him and had been his Father all along.Since then, Michael has devoted his life to recovery ministry, using the depth of his own experience to help others find freedom from addiction.
After more than 20 years of studying Scripture, he earned his bachelor’s degree in Bible and Theology from Lee University. Today, Michael’s desire is to share God’s heart through His Word and help others discover the same hope, freedom, and restoration that transformed his own life.
Tony Roberts - Pastor/Counselor
Tony is a shepherd with a heart for leading men into authentic, life-changing encounters with Jesus. For more than 15 years, he has carried a passion for seeing men restored, strengthened, and awakened to their God-given identity and purpose.
Through discipleship, encouragement, and biblical truth, Tony helps men break free from what holds them back, grow in spiritual maturity, and become the men God has called them to be. His desire is to see genuine transformation take root—changing not only how men live, but how they lead, love, serve, and walk with Christ.
Eddie Correa - Director of Construction & Project Manager
Eddie has known Kenny for more than 15 years. For a season, God led them down separate paths, working in each of their lives individually. Years later, when God brought them back together, Eddie saw something different in Kenny—a life centered on serving Christ and serving others.
Feeling called to come alongside Kenny and support the mission God had placed before him, Eddie chose to put his experience in construction and working with his hands to use for a greater purpose: helping build a place where people can encounter hope, healing, and true victory in Christ. Eddie is also a proud father of four incredible children and a grandfather to one beautiful grandchild.
Today, he believes deeply that life is worth living—not only for himself, but for God and for others.
