About Us
Godly Restoration Outreach
to Women, was founded in 2004
by Janet Wolfe.
When Janet Wolfe went to the Scott County jail in 2004 to share her "story" of life changing experiences and her personal relationship with Jesus Christ she had no idea the doors the Lord was opening for her and the women of the Quad City area.
From that jail house experience God revealed to Janet that He was working all around our jail/prison systems and He was inviting she and others to get involved in this work as well.
It started slowly at first, with encouraging letters to the inmates who visited her church class each week. A friend joined her in those classes, Terri Kosth, to get the ladies worshiping in song. But the needs became abundantly apparent to Janet. The Lord showed her what was needed to help the inmates change their life of crime.
One by one change began to happen. Bibles were given out at the jails, clothing was given to the women as they left the jail, furniture was found for new apartments, and especially rides to local churches, but it wasn’t enough!
As Janet sought the Lord to discern all He wanted GROW to do, and after doing much research of available services for women in the Quad Cities GROW ministries opened the
only faith based transitional housing program for women, in the Quad cities in 2006.
GROW currently has six beds in it's Transitional Housing program but many more are needed. GROW is helping to change lives one woman at a time!
GROW is a unique ministry, not only in its approach to helping women find Christ while in jail, but also in the fact, that they walk with that woman all along the way as she is released from
incarceration to independence.
GROW ministries Inc is dedicated to helping women in crisis in two areas:
- a women's jail ministry designed to introduce them to Christ and to meet their transitional needs following release and,
- a ministry to Christian women who are victims of domestic violence with Biblical counsel.
As a 501©3 nonprofit organization, GROW Ministries, Inc. is funded by:
- local community church support and,
- individual contributions.
Janet is dedicated professional and a good steward of the Lord. She has vowed never to take GROW Ministries into debt. That is why contributions of time, talent and funds are needed for this ministries.
