2026 Year in Review

Every numberhas a story.

Behind every group, every trained leader, every church partnership, and every number on this page is something much more personal: one person who needed somewhere safe to tell the truth.

01 / Why the work matters

Every curriculum we build. Every leader we train. Every church we equip. Every group we launch. Every scholarship we provide.

It all comes down to one person

When someone is finally ready to ask for help, we want someone to be there.

423 exists to help people move out of shame and isolation and into Christ-centered community, practical recovery, discipleship, and restored connection with God and others.

The work travels further than we can see

Equipping people, leaders, and churches to carry hope far beyond a single community.

What began as a response to hidden stories of sexual brokenness has become a widening network of recovery communities, trained leaders, church partnerships, scholarships, and pathways of care. Across states, churches, and communities, 423 is equipping people to carry hope into places we may never reach ourselves.

A member's journey

I came in trying to save myself. I found a community that helped me find God, my family, and hope again.

For years, I lived in shame and isolation. My addiction had slowly taken more than I realized—my honesty, my peace, my connection with God, and the trust in the relationships I cared about most. I kept promising myself I would change, but every failure left me more convinced that I was too far gone.

When I finally stepped into a 423 group, I expected judgment. Instead, I found people who understood what it was like to live in hiding and who were willing to stay with me as I learned to tell the truth. Week by week, I began to experience freedom from addiction—but the deeper healing was what happened in my relationship with God and with the people I loved.

Today, my family is stronger, my relationships are more honest, and I no longer believe I have to carry my life alone. Recovery gave me tools, but community helped restore the life I thought I had lost.

One person becomes a community

Healing happens in relationship.

423 creates distinct pathways of care while keeping one shared conviction at the center: freedom is not simply information—it is formed through truth, discipleship, safe community, wise care, and consistent practice.

The multiplication story

Healing rarely stops with one person.

The long-term vision is not simply to serve more people. It is to form healthy communities where people who have received care can become equipped to care for others.

01

One person finds healing.

They step out of hiding and enter a supported recovery pathway.

02

A leader is formed.

Recovery matures into responsibility, wisdom, and care for others.

03

A group becomes healthy.

Trained leaders cultivate a safe, repeatable community rhythm.

04

A church gains a pathway.

Pastors no longer have to improvise every response to sexual brokenness.

05

The next person is met.

When they finally tell the truth, someone is already prepared to walk with them.

One person → one leader → one group → one church → another person.
Beyond our groupsThe church can become a place of refuge again.
Equipping the Church

Building care that can remain healthy after the event is over.

423 was never intended to become a ministry that simply exists alongside the local church. We want to help pastors, care teams, recovery leaders, parents, and youth ministries develop clear pathways of response when sexual brokenness or betrayal enters their community.

That means helping churches listen well, refer wisely, form healthy leaders, build trauma-informed responses, and create sustainable communities of care.

01

Pastoral Cohorts

Shared formation for pastors addressing sexual brokenness with wisdom and compassion.

02

Church Partnerships

Integrated pathways for men, women, wives, youth, parents, and church teams.

03

Leader Development

Training and support for leaders who can carry long-term care inside community.

This year we built

Infrastructure for the next person who reaches out.

The work behind every group matters. Stronger systems, clearer pathways, trained leaders, and better tools allow 423 to respond with greater consistency when the next person reaches out.

05

Greater access

Scholarships, affordable communities, digital resources, church-hosted programs, and increasingly repeatable systems.

“I thought recovery meant stopping a behavior. I didn't know God could use community to give me my relationships—and my hope—back.”

You made this possible

Generosity turns ministry infrastructure into a place where someone can actually find help.

Every conversation, group, scholarship, intake, training, church partnership, and leader-development rhythm depends on people who decide this work is worth carrying together.

In 2026, 436 people have already supported 423. Their generosity is helping keep care accessible while we prepare for the next season of growth.

We still need to raise $150,000 to fully fund the ministry capacity required for the year ahead.
