Offering hope and healing to the addicted, broken, and homeless in Brevard County for nearly 60 years.

We will be updating our page weekly to inform you on progress we are making here at CITA. We are always needing your donations and volunteering your time to help our efforts work. We have never accepted money from the Government we have always built our business on people who care enough to give to the needy and help minister true change through a relationship with Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

🎥 Testimonial Tuesday: Meet Norm

When Norm came to Christ Is The Answer Rescue Mission about 15 months ago, he was facing addiction, uncertainty, and a need for a new direction. Today, at 74 years old, Norm has graduated from our program and moved into a place of his own. 💚

In his testimony, Norm shares what meant the most to him about his time at CITA: being welcomed, learning to walk with Christ, understanding God’s Word, and experiencing the work of the Holy Spirit in his life.

One line says it especially well:

“Thank God that I came here. It just set my whole life forward.”

Norm also shares his gratitude for every person who donates and makes this ministry possible. Your generosity helps create opportunities for stories like his.

Take a few minutes to hear Norm’s story in his own words and celebrate what God has done in his life!

💚 A special thank you to Caliber Homes Inc. for putting their skills to work at Helen’s House!

Caliber Homes recently donated their time, talent, and craftsmanship to install our new Donation Education Station, creating additional space that will help the women and children we serve with education, job searches, and other steps toward greater independence.

We’re always grateful when local businesses find meaningful ways to use what they do best to serve others. This is a practical improvement that will continue benefiting our guests for years to come.

Thank you, Caliber Homes Inc., for investing in Helen’s House and helping us continue to RESCUE. RESTORE. REBUILD.

✝️ Celebrating Life Change!

What a joy it was to celebrate 6 men who publicly declared their faith in Jesus Christ through baptism.

Each one has made the decision to follow Christ, and it was incredible to stand together and witness them take this important step of obedience. Christ truly is the Answer and He is still changing lives!

Please continue to pray for these men as they grow in their relationship with Jesus, stay rooted in His Word, and walk out their faith each day.

“Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death... even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4

What a blessing to celebrate new life in Christ! 💚

✝️ What a day to celebrate!

We’re heading to the beach to baptize 8 men who have received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior and are taking this next step of obedience in their faith!

It is such a blessing to see lives being changed and to witness firsthand that Christ truly is the Answer. 💚

A HUGE thank you to the students from Calvary Chapel Academy for preparing treat bags for our guests at Christ Is The Answer Rescue Mission.

The treats were a blessing, but what meant even more were the handwritten notes tucked inside reminding our guests that they are loved and cared for.

Those simple messages made a real impact. We have already seen some of our guests put the notes on display in their personal spaces as a reminder of that encouragement.

Thank you for taking the time to show love in such a personal and meaningful way.

“Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.” 1 John 3:18
