Testimonials
God has used MOV to show me a whole new life, and it has helped me have and build a relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God has changed my heart, mind, and soul. He used MOV to do it. JESUS SAVES AND RESTORES, and my life is a testimony of his goodness.
From a broken young man seeking purpose, to a redeemed servant of Christ—Men of Valor helped guide my journey. Now I serve as Program Director. All glory to God!
I met a man named Jesus while in a prison cell. He gave me a crown of Beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
Men of Valor Academy provides invaluable opportunities for its students through partnerships with local businesses, offering pathways to employment and equipping them with the skills necessary to become productive members of society. Thank you for your faith in and commitment to providing opportunities for men like me who are striving for a better future.

Thank you.
Because of you, Giving Tuesday wasn’t just another campaign. It was real impact in real lives.
Your generosity helps men coming out of prison rebuild what was broken, restore what was lost, and step into who they were created to be.
You didn’t just give money. You gave hope, dignity, and a second chance.
And a huge thank you to SuperTalk 99.7 WTN for their support and partnership this year.
We are grateful. Deeply.
If you gave, shared, or stood with us in any way, thank you for being part of this work.

Some stories speak for themselves. Today we’re honoring the kind of brotherhood that builds real change.
From staff member and volunteer Fred Reyes:
“I’ve had the privilege of walking life with Sierra Summerall most of this past year and I have been truly blessed. We meet on a weekly basis, share about our lives, talk about his Pathway to Life journal and always break bread together. We text or call each other for prayer when needed and discuss the everyday challenges of life. I am extremely thankful to walk life with Sierra through the Men of Valor Mentor program.”
This is what mentorship looks like here. Real relationships. Real accountability. Real growth.

Two powerful moments happened recently with partners who showed up strong. Citipointe Church Nashville joined us to serve meals and minister to our brothers, and freedomcollectiveministries gathered at The Ridge where men made real decisions of faith.
Different moments, one mission.
Presence, service, transformation.
These photos tell the story.

We wish we could highlight every man who reaches this moment, because every graduate carries a story worth honoring. Each one represents courage, hard work, and a choice to step into something better.
But today we get to celebrate Andy Bennett and Carlton Brown at their graduation. Their photos tell a story of courage, growth, and choosing a new direction when the old path felt easier. A man who refused to quit and keep moving forward with the hope of God.
This is what Men of Valor is about: men rising, men rebuilding, men stepping into who they were made to be.
Join us in celebrating Andy and Carlton, and keep all our men in your prayers.
