The Garden Covenant
Thank You For Your Help! Your Donation Changes Lives! When you dedicate a daily sacrifice for one year, you support the day in, day out efforts of your brothers and sisters who desire to contribute to community. When you sacrifice anywhere from $1 per day to $20 per day, for at least a full year, you empower CHAYAH to cover the costs of revival for a generation of men returning to society after a time away fighting battles both personal and public.
CHAYAH = LIFE
Donations
We partner with life coaches, gyms, clothes closets, counselors, food pantries, and people from all walks of life who care about helping people help themselves.
We welcome your kind donation of funds that help us cover all sorts of expenses associated with maintaining a home where integrity is most valuable. Maintaining the health and safety of our residents is utmost priority. This requires money to maintain functionality of plumbing, HVAC, communication and electrical systems as well as resources like hardware, tools, paint and wood.
Ways to Serve
CHAYAH is a Not-For-Profit Benevolent Association
The Association exists to provide a charitable service to the people of Texas by alleviating poverty, disease, pain and suffering through provision of shelter, food, worship and work opportunities as well as spiritual, financial, health, emotional and mental counseling directly to indigent people, veterans and ex offenders seeking to reenter society successfully and become contributing members of Texas communities.
The members of The Association believe Yahweh is using us to build an assembly of and for people desiring to contribute to their community. People coming out of prison, or back from war, or out of indigency, will successfully reintegrate into society when they participate in CHAYAH, an assembly of people with a love for the Way of Yahweh who will provide them immediate housing, worship and work on premises. People already skilled at living in society will volunteer on premises, working alongside the ex-offenders, formerly homeless and veterans and mentoring them in a living discipleship. Residents of the transitional housing on premises will access resources for personal and professional development via qualified providers both on- and off-premises, and will also volunteer off-premises alongside people already skilled at living in society, so that mentoring can take place in the community at large and the reentry population can mature in the grace and knowledge of Yahshua haMashiyach.
