Our goal is to act as an instrument of positive change in the community. We will utilize all of the talents that God has given us and will participate in all aspects of life with energy, purpose and gratitude. In an every changing world filled with burdens, we aim to lift up, encourage, point people to Jesus and celebrate the goodness of God.
In The Beginning
We were founded in late 2014 by Jerry and Patti Miller, and a small team of board members. The Millers had a vision to provide wholistic recovery to opportunities to men and women wishing to move beyond the cycle of addiction and/or incarceration. The vision was large: create job opportunity, provide recovery programs, and offer independent housing options.
2014Continuing On Our Journey
Our initial efforts in the Wautoma downtown district sought to provide a centralized place for employment and recovery programs at the Living Stone Bistro. During this season, the IRS officially granted our non-profit status in the Spring of 2017.
Spring 2017More To Our Story
On August 22, 2017, Jerry Miller, our founding president, died in a tragic car crash. Shortly after this tragic loss, God’s 911 Team, Inc. made the decision continue the vision we started. Much prayer and discussion followed, as we looked to our future. In the Winter of 2018, the board of directors made the difficult decision to stop development of the Living Stone Bistro and focus our efforts on programs which brought immediate hope to individuals struggling through seasons of hopelessness.
August 2017Building Amalia's Serenity House
By the Spring of 2018, we launched the Amalia’s Serenity House. In partnership with Crossing HOME of MN Crossing Home Website, this home seeks to provide God-honoring housing for men who have completed treatment and/or prison.
Spring 2018Beginning TreeHouse Central WI
In the Spring of 2019, God’s 911 Team launched TreeHouse of Central Wisconsin. Treehouse Central WI provides teens with grace-based programing where they can believe what is true and possible. We help teens build healthy friendships and hopeful futures through weekly support groups and intentional mentoring relationships.
