See His Goodness - Zyeshia

“I’m starting to read my Bible more and look forward to going to church on Sunday’s as well,” Zyeshia said. “All of the staff here have played a role in encouraging me and guiding me every step of the way and I’m grateful.”

We would like to recognize Zyeshia graduating from Appling County High School! After graduation, Zyeshia will attend Coastal Pines Technical College to pursue a degree in Criminal Justice and hopes to be a forensic scientist in the future. 


Zyeshia says that she likes the small town feel this college offers her and makes her feel relaxed and excited about her new journey. 


“I’ve always enjoyed crime shows and have loved science,” Zyeshia said. “Being in Baxley gives me a peace of mind and a pace I’m used to so I’m excited to start this new chapter.”

In Zyeshia’s free time she enjoys painting and drawing but also loves to sing. Any way that Zyeshia can be creative is what makes her happiest. 


While at The Children’s Home, Zyeshia explained that she grew up not really attending church or reading her Bible. She says that she always sort of knew about Jesus but since coming to GBCH&FM her eyes have been opened to His goodness. 


“I’m starting to read my Bible more and look forward to going to church on Sunday’s as well,” Zyeshia said. “All of the staff here have played a role in encouraging me and guiding me every step of the way and I’m grateful.” 

Pray with us for Zyeshia as she leaves high school and heads down the college path, that she will be a source of joy and light to others as she pursues her passion. 


Congratulations on all of your accomplishments Zyeshia! We’re proud of you for this success and for those to come as you pursue your dreams!

“Our mission is to provide a nurturing, structured, and safe environment that fosters a sense of trustworthiness which is key in building rapport with our residents,” Sara explains. “I believe that children have a need to belong and if that need is not fulfilled in a positive way, they often resort to misbehavior. We understand the necessity of expressing God’s unconditional love to youth with challenging behaviors. Our goal is to accept them as they are, welcome them, and let change happen organically with time.”
