MMP PEARLS Programs
The Jude 23 Program
A specialized mentorship and wrap-around support initiative for young women aged 35 and under navigating severe life transitions, housing vulnerability, or systemic crisis.
"Save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh."
— Jude 1:23
Our Mandate
A Bridge From Crisis to Restoration
The Jude 23 Program operationalizes a biblical mandate to extend active, rescue-oriented compassion. It serves as a critical bridge between emergency intervention, holistic restoration, and long-term self-sufficiency.
Through high-touch peer mentorship, wrap-around support services, personal development, and—for eligible mothers with children—direct residential placement at The House of Ruth co-housing facility, we walk alongside young women as they rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.

Kingdom Principles
Four Operational Pillars
The Jude 23 Program relies on four core operational pillars derived directly from Kingdom principles.
Urgent, Interventionist Compassion
Snatching from the Fire
Principle
Faith in action requires stepping directly into places of crisis with urgency, dignity, and grace.
Application
Immediate assessment, crisis stabilization, safety planning, and warm-handoff resource coordination.
Covenantal Mentorship & Peer Guidance
Walking Alongside
Principle
Walking alongside individuals in vulnerability rather than delivering top-down direction (Ruth 1:16–17).
Application
Pairing participants with trained peer mentors who provide relational stability, emotional grounding, and consistent accountability.
Holistic Personal & Spiritual Restoration
Renewing the Whole Person
Principle
Renewing the whole person—heart, mind, character, and practical capacity (Romans 12:2).
Application
Life-skills training, mental health and trauma support coordination, spiritual growth opportunities, and parenting education.
Stewardship & Economic Self-Sufficiency
Faithful Management
Principle
Faithful management of personal talents, time, and community resources (Luke 16:10).
Application
Financial literacy workshops, career navigation, workforce skill-building, and pathway-to-permanent housing plans.
Residential Partnership
The House of Ruth
Coming Soon in 2027
A dedicated co-housing facility for mothers and their children, designed to provide wrap-around residential support as part of the Jude 23 Program. We are prayerfully preparing this space and look forward to opening our doors soon.
