A PROJECT OF LIFT THEM UP · FORT WAYNE, INDIANA

No one should have to rebuild their life alone.

Help create a place in Fort Wayne where our neighbors facing homelessness can find rest, practical support, and a path toward home.

Help open the doors Explore founding families

REST. RELATIONSHIP. RESTORATION.

PEOPLE ARE NOT PROBLEMS. THEY ARE PEOPLE.

A place to begin again.

A safe place to sleep. A shower. Somewhere for your belongings. Someone reliable to call. When these essentials disappear, rebuilding a life becomes harder.

Agape Mansion begins with a simple conviction: our neighbors deserve more than a moment of help. They deserve to be known, welcomed, and supported over time.

BEFORE THERE WAS A MANSION, THERE WAS A PERSON.

Atoria needed somewhere to turn.

At 19 weeks pregnant, Atoria was homeless and living in her car.

She needed more than a temporary answer. Before Lift Them Up was formed, Nathan and those helping her provided housing, food, and other practical support so she could stabilize, prepare for her son, and begin rebuilding her life.

TODAY

Atoria is married, raising her children, and owns a home. Her husband serves in the Army. Her story reflects her own perseverance—and what can become possible when practical help is joined with consistent, personal support.

Agape Mansion grows from that same conviction: meet people where they are, know their name, and walk with them toward home.

THE AGAPE MODEL

A place to return. A relationship that continues.

Meet people where they are. Walk with them until they are home. The proposed Agape Care Flywheel connects immediate relief with practical steps toward lasting stability.

Receive

A welcome by name.

A personal welcome, an initial assessment, and a relationship that begins with listening.

THE MANSION

A home prepared with intention.

Our proposed location is 2440 Bowser Avenue in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The vision is a welcoming place where rest, personal care, practical support, and lasting relationships can come together.

We are working toward an opening in 2028, subject to acquisition, funding, approvals, and construction planning.

A CLOSER LOOK

Dignity, down to the details.

A comfortable room. A place for your belongings. A table where someone remembers your name. We envision a home that communicates welcome before a word is spoken.

**Room to welcome.**A welcoming arrival matters. The rear entrance is envisioned for safe, practical access while preserving the warmth and dignity of a home.

**A place to belong.**Shared living spaces are designed for conversation, community, meals, and the ordinary human moments that help turn shelter into belonging.

**Care in every detail.**Even transitional spaces should communicate care. Warm lighting, residential finishes, and thoughtful details are intended to make the Mansion feel like a home rather than an institution.

**Rest for a brighter tomorrow.**Private guest rooms are envisioned as calm places to rest, regroup, charge a phone, secure belongings, and wake up ready for the next step.
