OUR MISSION

 True Light is a ministry dedicated to providing safe havens, recovery support, and opportunities for healing, restoration, and personal growth, empowering women to overcome adversity and move forward with renewed hope, confidence, and purpose.


Healing Through Christ

We believe lasting transformation begins with Jesus Christ. Our Christian recovery programs are rooted in biblical truth and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Whether through our Christian recovery house for women, recovery support meetings, or other opportunities for spiritual growth, healing goes beyond overcoming past struggles. It involves discovering our identity in Christ, experiencing freedom from what has held us captive, and learning to walk in the purpose God has prepared for us. A Christian safe haven for women is more than a place of refuge. It is an environment where faith is strengthened, lives are transformed, and hope is restored.


Compassionate Support

We are building a community where women affected by addiction, abuse, and sexual exploitation can find encouragement, accountability, and support without judgment.

Luke 8:48
"Daughter", He said to her, "your faith has made you well, go in peace".

We utilize a Christian format based on principles of

 love, forgiveness, and empowerment.

 Through mentoring, education, practical tools, and trusted community connections, we provide individualized support that helps each woman heal, grow, reclaim her life, and reach her full potential.

Pathways to Purpose

An empowering program designed to help women grow in confidence, develop practical life skills, discover their God-given purpose, and move forward toward a stronger future.

Featured Story: Finding Faith and Fellowship in Recovery

Penn Medicine featured True Light's work during a season when we operated a safe haven in both Bucks County and Kensington. Although our Kensington location has since closed, this story remains an important part of our history and reflects the heart of our continuing mission. As True Light continues to grow, we are working toward returning to Philadelphia to open a safe haven for  pregnant women in need.

Founded in 2015, True Light operates two recovery houses—one in Bucks County and another in the drug-torn Kensington neighborhood in Philadelphia. Both houses offer women evidence-based courses in job readiness, self-esteem, anger management, goal setting, and other life skills that are essential to healing and reclaiming their lives. While meditation, prayer, and bible study are a central part of True Light’s program of daily activities, Long says the Christian nonprofit welcomes women from all walks of life, regardless of their religious preference or the depth of their personal struggles.

“We take women off the streets, fresh out of the hospital or detox; we even take women from prison,” Long explained. “I’m a survivor of everything True Light stands for. So, I know none of them are as broken as they think they are. We all just need a little support.”
