Job readiness, Unemployment & Vocational rehab services

**Our Story**
In the Fall of 2012, the Women's Ministry of First Baptist Church-Longview conducted an interest survey. The top category of interest was arts and crafts. Our first thought was, “What in the world can we do with arts and crafts?” Julee Rachels, CEO and Founder of Heartisans, and a friend discussed how that might look as an outreach opportunity for the women of FBC-L. They reached out to another friend and the name Heartisans was born from three words: He, Heart, Artisans. "He": we wanted whatever we did to be Christ-centered; "Heart": because of our love for Christ, our activity would come from the heart; and "Artisans": the products made would be high quality. 

In the Summer of 2013, Julee volunteered with Buckner Ministries and FBC-L at the Bellaire Apartments, a low-income apartment complex in the Longview Community. She worked with 20-22 ladies each week teaching healthy cooking, exercise, and Bible study. During this time, several of the ladies expressed a desire to move out of Bellaire. Many lived there in the cycle of generational poverty and did not know how to transition out. Julee knew opportunities for them were in education and employment; so, she began praying about how Heartisans could serve as a vehicle for these women to move out of Bellaire and poverty.

In the Fall of 2013, 14 of the women who had been in the Summer group participated in the Heartisans’ pilot program. The participants met once a week at the Buckner facility where they learned business principles through producing arts and crafts items. The women would choose an item, calculate the cost of materials, make note of the time required to craft the item (labor cost), price the item, and then market the items. At the end of the pilot program, each woman received a percentage of the profits generated from the sale of the products they had made. This provided them with Christmas money to spend on their families.

Although the women enjoyed the program and were proud of the money they had earned, Julee realized this model would not provide the women a way out of Bellaire, much less poverty.

In the Spring of 2014, Julee began the paperwork for Heartisans to be designated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. She invited two friends to join her with the startup as founding board members, and she was thankful they did!

When she visited her daughter in Nashville that March, she took Julee to Thistle Farms, a nonprofit organization that rescues women off the streets and out of the sex-trafficking trade, providing them with shelter for two years while they got their GED, counseling, and work experience. This was a lightbulb moment for Julee.

She returned to Thistle Farms for training in April 2014 where she learned how to implement what was needed in the Longview community. The Longview community had several nonprofits that provided homeless women coming out of domestic violence and drug addiction with a safe living environment. Another nonprofit, Buckner Pathways, was being built that would provide single mothers a place to live while attending college. What our community lacked was a vehicle to the higher paying jobs, moving women toward self-sufficiency.

Julee knew she wanted Heartisans to accomplish five things:
Provide women in the Longview community with quality job training that would give them the best opportunity to apply and enter a career they were naturally drawn to by God-given interests and abilities, a job that would afford them the ability to provide for themselves and their families, and access to higher education to continue moving up in that career.
Provide hands-on work and essential skills training enabling program participants to be work-ready when exiting the program.
Provide an opportunity for a valuable network of people in our community to meet the specific social, physical, and spiritual needs that relationships afford (mentors/tutors).
Provide a place for the community to “Serve in Love” with their gifts and talents.
Incorporate the gifts and talents of the community volunteers as a vehicle to finance the program (manufacturing studios staffed by community volunteers with the products sold in a retail store environment).
In November of 2014, the retail store of Heartisans Marketplace opened and operated November and December. Funds generated from the sale of products from the studios and community donations provided funds to begin accepting women into the job training program in January 2015. That January, partnering with Longview Economic Development Corporation (LEDCO), Heartisans became the ACT WorkKeys Career Ready site in Gregg County providing program participants with certificates in ten key essential skills for the workplace plus a National Career Readiness Certificate upon completion of the program. 

Women are referred into the Heartisans’ job readiness program from other local 501(c)(3) nonprofits, churches, families, the court system, and the community at large. Heartisans offers a holistic approach to being job ready. While in our program, legal, medical, dental, and vision challenges are addressed, along with spiritual, emotional and physical needs through volunteers and community partners. The Heartisans program provides job skills to re-enter the workforce as well as life skills and mentoring so that women can provide for their families' needs and be contributing members of our community. 

Through the process, we discover each woman's God-given talents and interests and, as a result, there are women laying roads in our community, caring for the sick, providing services in company offices, and serving healthy meals to children in our school system, along with various other career fields. We continue to support many of our graduates as they hold down a job and provide for their families while attending higher education. All of these women fill vital roles in our community making life better for their families and our community.

We began with two women and helped six women achieve success in the first year. Now, almost nine years later, we are able to support up to ten women per session (8 to 10 weeks). To date, we have had 132 women complete the Heartisans’ job readiness program. Over 90% of these women have entered the workforce in our community with many continuing their education through Kilgore College or trade certifications, each moving towards independence.

FUTURE PLANS:

We have been in our new location two years, which has enabled us to expand our program area, retail store and manufacturing studios, along with acreage needed to build the Heartisans Village, a cottage community of independent homes. As we continue serving women in our local community, our greatest need is to provide safe, affordable housing in a supportive community and continued mentoring for one to two years as our graduates transition into their new life and put into practice what they have learned. Heartisans Village will have two three-bed/one-bath cottages, six two-bed/one-bath cottages, a one-bed/one-bath cottage for our resident assistant, a laundry cottage, playground, community garden, gathering areas and an alumni center. Groundbreaking is planned for late Summer 2023. For more information, contact Julee Rachels, 903-431-1188, ext. 101.

Disability and medical equipment

**How We Started**

Working with several different healthcare providers in East Texas in consulting roles, I would keep hearing about the need for a local medical supply and equipment provider that could help with their needs. Lots of prayer and research into the industry led me to open ScissorTail Medical Supply to exceed the expectations of our customers. 

**What we offer **

We offer all traditional Durable Medical Equipment from amazing suppliers and companies that are just as committed quality and service as we are. We offer walkers, wheelchairs, rollators, hospital beds, all types of mobility and safety devices. We also have a full spectrum of personal protective equipment and first aid supplies on hand. Need a cane, crutches, or bandages - we have those too! Come by to see us or give us a call to discuss your specific needs. We deliver all across Longview and Tyler metro areas.

**What CMJC is…**

Christian Men’s Job Corps is based on faith in God. Our mission is to share the love of God in Christ as we walk with men in friendship, in fellowship, in prayer, in Bible reading, and in life and job skills study. We are a compassion ministry of national WMU https://wmu.com/. We equip men, in a Christian context, for life and employment. Through CMJC ministries men gain hope for their future.

The Christian Men’s Job Corps of Gregg County is referred to as a compassion ministry because there is, in most cities, the need for a Christian agency that will walk along with men who need a job or who need a better job. Christian Men’s Job Corps of Gregg County seeks to be and do that very thing.

**What CMJC does…**

CMJC exists for Christian men to empower other men to become spiritual leaders in their homes and communities. Distinctives of CMJC programs are Bible study, mentoring, and job skills training. “Just as iron sharpens iron, so shall one man sharpen another.” Proverbs 27:17

This program offers free 10 week classes twice a year with ongoing mentoring to help you succeed.

During each 10-week semester we offer the participant 10 weeks of classes that meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, making a total of 20 class meetings. 15 of these class meetings are dedicated to the Jobs for Life curriculum and the remaining five class meetings are dedicated to money management, introduction to the Bible, and computer skills.

This ministry is free.

You do not have to be a Christian to participate.
No high school equivalency is required.
Ages 18 and up are welcome to apply.

With a new face accompanying this changing population, we constantly look for new and innovative ways to keep up with the fast-paced baby boomers. We encourage and support volunteer and community groups to get involved.

Statistics tell us that many girls who age out of the Foster care system are at a high risk of teen pregnancy and becoming victims of sex trafficking. KEEPS Boutique combats these statistics through reaching out to teen girls in the state foster care system with Jesus’ love. KEEPS offers personalized shopping appointments at KEEPS Boutique, where all the clothing is brand new. Each girl picks 6 items to take home free of charge.

KEEPS also offers “girls’ nights out” events, summer camps and bible studies to teen girls in foster care around East Texas. Through these brief but impactful year-round encounters the girls experience the Father’s love which changes their future trajectories.

Las estadísticas nos dicen que muchas niñas que salen del sistema de cuidado de crianza corren un alto riesgo de quedar embarazadas en la adolescencia y convertirse en víctimas de tráfico sexual. KEEPS Boutique combate estas estadísticas acercándose a las adolescentes del sistema estatal de cuidado de crianza con el amor de Jesús. KEEPS ofrece citas de compras personalizadas en KEEPS Boutique, donde toda la ropa es nueva. Cada niña elige 6 artículos para llevarse a casa de forma gratuita.

KEEPS también ofrece eventos de “salidas nocturnas para niñas”, campamentos de verano y estudios bíblicos para niñas adolescentes en hogares de acogida en el este de Texas. A través de estos breves pero impactantes encuentros que duran todo el año, las niñas experimentan el amor del Padre que cambia sus trayectorias futuras.

Axia Mobile Pregnancy Resource Center Admin Assistant and Patient Advocate

**Our Story**

In 1982, YWAM missionary and visionary leader,  Beverly Kline, met a Tyler teenager who was fearful that she might be pregnant.  In seeking help for this young lady, Bev was directed by the health department to an 800 number for a free pregnancy test. Bev soon learned that the free test was provided by a Dallas abortion clinic, which utilized a local Tyler laboratory, that ultimately provided the lead for an abortion sale.  

Little did anyone know, that that one inquiry would result in closing the door to that clinic’s abortion access in Tyler! Since then, more than 40,000 free tests have been administered by Tyler’s Living Alternatives Pregnancy Resource Center.  Today, in addition to pregnancy testing, the Center also performs free sonograms which drastically increases the survival rate of the unborn child. The Center’s Building Blocks program continues to minister to the women after a confirmed pregnancy with individual parent mentoring, childbirth education and doula services, to ensure the safe arrival of the baby. 

Fatherheart Maternity Home has provided more than 600 young women safe haven to mend the past and move into the future with a renewed hope. Babies are a great start to a new beginning. For many of the girls, a new beginning starts with an adoptive family for her baby, facilitated by the ministry’s Loving Alternative Adoption Agency.  More than 200 birthmothers have made the loving and sacrificial choice to prepare an adoption plan, and placed their precious baby into the arms of trusted adoptive parents. 

Loving Alternatives was also honored to utilize its agency license for a season, by helping the Smith County Family Court find Christian families for 100 children who were waiting in foster homes for an adoption. This ministry is called ForThe1.

Statistics tell us that many girls who age out of the Foster system are at a higher risk for trafficking and unplanned pregnancies. KEEPS Boutique combats these statistics by providing a unique shopping experience for teen girls in the State foster care system. This free shopping experience enables personal connection through “girls’ nights out” events, and a summer camp experience. Through these brief but impacting encounters the girls experience the touch of the Father’s love as the staff welcome them with warm embraces.  

The flagship of all the Living Alternatives ministries is the Pregnancy Resource Center.  The PRC is the where the heartbeat of Living Alternatives emanates from, and this heart is ENLARGING.  In partnership with the community, 1.2 million dollars was raised for a state-of-the-art facility called The AXIA Center that allowed Living Alternatives to reach more women in even more effective ways. Free pregnancy testing and sonograms are tools utilized to reach the target audience of abortion-vulnerable women with hope – and help – to make life changing decisions for their unborn child and their future.
