30 years ago, God placed a
dream in the hearts of Peter and Angela Spackman. With
much love, prayer, and hard work, that dream became the
reality that is the Adullam House community. A safe haven where children of
incarcerated parents can grow and mothers can feel at
peace, knowing that the ones they love most are cared for
and safe.

Mission: The
Elmore County Family Resource Center’s mission is to strengthen families
in Elmore County through career development, support,
referrals, and education to ensure they are healthy,
thriving and self-sufficient.
History: The Elmore County Family Resource Center (ECFRC)
was founded in 2007 with the mission to support children
and families by connecting them to resources that can
empower them to be self-sufficient, productive citizens
of Elmore County. This initial mission was inspired by
the result of a needs assessment conducted by the
Children Policy Council in the early 2000s. Once the
agency was incorporated, the initial services provided
were intake and referrals.
They also offer referrals to resources for assistance
with identified needs such as: financial, housing, food,
utilities, parenting classes, etc. Many applications for
assistance can be completed onsite while at the resource
center. Follow-up contacts are made to ensure that
clients’ needs have been met.

The Fresh Start We Receive from Faith in Jesus
Christ:
1. Victory from eternal damnation and
death to salvation and eternal life.
2. Victory from loneliness to real friendship filled with
love.
3. Victory from worry, fear, and desperation to faith,
courage, strength, and peace of mind.
4. Victory from sadness, shame, and guilt to happiness,
joy, and self worth.
5. Victory from being a slave to addiction to freedom to
choose how I live.
6. Victory from financial disaster to financial
responsibility and security.
7. Victory from a purposeless existence to a life with
direction and meaning.
8. Victory from anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness to
love, compassion, respect and forgiveness.
9. Victory from denial, hurts, suffering, and pain to
admit-tance, healing and wholeness.
10. Victory from self-centeredness, selfishness,
jealousy, and manipulation to giving, trusting, and
respect for others.
Ten Steps to a Fresh Start:
1. I admit that I need help in
overcoming my problems, fears, and/or addictions.
2. I believe the power of Jesus Christ can free me,
restore me, and make me whole.
3. I am willing to let Jesus Christ change my life and
trust him completely.
4. I acknowledge any sins and addictions and accept total
for-giveness from Jesus Christ. I also cast all of my
worry upon Jesus because I know He cares for me.
5. I ask forgiveness of those I have hurt, and I also
forgive those who have hurt me.
6. I extend the love of Jesus Christ to others daily,
thinking of them as I want them to think about me, and
treating them as I want them to treat me.
7. I pray and read my Bible each day in order to know
what to do to live a victorious life.
8. I actively fellowship with other Christians and
worship God in the church of my choice.
9. I share my faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ with
others so they can also be set free, because He who the
Son sets free, is free indeed.
10. As a result of my new life, I will walk in the Spirit
daily. The fruit of the Spirit is evident in my life and
I share it with others.
