Jay and Steph run Helping Hands paint and Restoration, a painting business that doubles as a discipleship platform. Along with their family, crew, and other disciples, they founded the Church of the Remnant. Their vision is to establish The Father’s House, a refuge for families seeking healing and unity in the Lord. Grateful for their redemption from addiction, they passionately aim to guide others to the freedom and joy in Jesus that transformed their lives. Our Mission is to restore individuals and families through the transforming power of Jesus Christ—raising up disciples who bring healing to their homes, their communities, and beyond. We envision a place where people broken by addiction can encounter God, heal as families, and step into lives of freedom, purpose, and hope.

The Calling grounds: Richland County

Ohio is where they are from—and where, by God’s grace, they were set free from the chains of addiction. Through their own recovery, they experienced not only healing, but renewed life in Jesus Christ.

Recognizing that Ohio remains an underserved area for addiction recovery and restoration, Jay and Steph felt called to give back. Their vision is to create a program that provides meaningful work, dignity, and support for individuals seeking treatment and rebuilding their lives. By combining skilled trade work with faith, mentorship, and purpose, Helping Hands exists to extend the same hope and transformation they received to others still fighting for freedom.

Your support helps turn restoration into reality—one life, one home, and one story at a time.

some statistics about Ohio’s area :

  • 900,000+ Ohioans need addiction treatment and only a fraction have access to safe sober housing after treatment
  • 4,400+ overdose deaths in Ohio in one year
  • 2,200+ people sought treatment in Richland county alone
  • Those that go straight home after treatment only have a rate of 45 to 60% of recovery
  • Those that go into recovery housing as  residents:70 to 85% have sobriety after 12 months

Restoration House & Training Center​

Through Helping Hands Paint & Restoration, we provide second-chance employment for men and women in recovery, teaching valuable trade skills that allow them to rebuild their lives and support their families.

Our next step is to purchase a fixer-upper home and use it as a live training site for our crew. Once restored, the home will be sold, and the proceeds will fund the purchase of another house. This cycle creates:

  • Hands-on job training for people in recovery
  • Affordable housing for our community
  • A visible testimony of God’s restoration power

Our prayer is to find “people of peace” or individuals in recovery ready for homeownership, so these homes become places of lasting transformation

The Father’s House Sober Living Homes​

During our first phase we aim  provide level two recovery housing for men and women. Currently we have access to two home each with 6 beds. Residents will pay $150 weekly and be required to pass drug tests and follow house rules. We will stay true to our mission of advocating for families despite them not yet being housed together.

The final phase of our vision is to purchase and renovate additional homes to serve as family-style sober living spaces.

Unlike traditional recovery programs that separate parents from their children, these homes will allow entire families to stay together and heal together.
Here, families can experience:

  • Support in their recovery journey
  • Spiritual discipleship and restoration
  • A chance to break generational cycles and build a legacy of hope
