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.

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. Before Lift Them Up formally existed, Nathan and others helped provide housing, food, and practical support so she could stabilize and prepare for her son. 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.

THE AGAPE MODEL

A relationship that continues.

Agape care is designed as a circle, not a transaction. Meet the immediate need, take the next step, and keep the relationship going until someone is rehoused.

THE MANSION

A home prepared with intention.

Our proposed Fort Wayne location is envisioned as a welcoming home where rest, personal care, practical support, and lasting relationships come together. We are working toward a 2028 opening, subject to acquisition, funding, approvals, and construction planning.

THE AGAPE PROMISE

If you walk through our doors, we will know your name.

A place for your things. A place to shower. Clean clothes. A meal. A safe place to sleep. Help with the next step.

And when that next step takes time, we will expect you back.

You are always welcome here.

TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE ROOM.

A brighter tomorrow begins here.

And it begins with people who choose to build it.
