The “Heart of Begin Anew”
Greg and Pam Nelson have been avid supporters of Begin Anew for the past several years! Greg made a post on Facebook recently sharing the "Heart of Begin Anew" and our ministry. Here is what he shared:
"Begin Anew is more than an institution; it is a conviction. It stands in Middle Tennessee as a testament that no past is too heavy, no failure too final, no dream too distant. Since 1997, it has opened its doors to those who seek more—not merely in knowledge, but in selfhood. It does not give charity but instead offers something greater: the means to build, to stand, to walk forward unshackled.
There is dignity in the act of learning, in the refusal to remain as one is. The students who come here—young and old, from distant lands and familiar streets—come not to be given, but to claim. They take their place in classrooms, their hands steady on pencils, their minds reaching toward what once seemed impossible. The high school diploma long left unfinished, the language barrier that silenced a voice, the skills that unlock doors to work and purpose—each challenge met is another thread woven into a new life.
And yet, no man walks this path alone. The work of Begin Anew is held aloft by those who give themselves to its cause. The teachers, who offer not just knowledge but patience. The mentors, who do not direct but illuminate. The hands that greet at the door, that care for the children, that order the space and make it welcoming—all are bound to this mission. Not in obligation, but in understanding: that to lift another is to lift oneself.
Here, in these rooms where wisdom is passed from hand to hand, a truth emerges. It is not only the students who change, but generations. A mother learns, and her child watches. She works all day and then attends her classes at night. A grandfather takes up his studies, and his grandson sees what is possible. A father stands at his graduation, and in that moment, the course of an entire family shifts.
This is the quiet revolution of renewal. It does not seek spectacle. It does not call attention to itself. It simply moves forward, steady as the tide, certain as the sunrise.
There is no force greater than a mind awakened. No freedom greater than the choice to begin anew.”
We are so grateful for supporters like Greg and Pam that see the work Begin Anew is doing and come alongside. It's because of you that we are able to empower the students we serve!

Caras amables, corazones acogedores.
Un alto nivel de atención personal y ánimo puede marcar la diferencia para alguien que se enfrenta a nuevos retos en la vida. Por eso las clases son reducidas y cada estudiante cuenta con un animador voluntario que le sirve de caja de resonancia, le ofrece apoyo y fomenta su responsabilidad. Los estudiantes de Begin Anew también tienen acceso a una serie de útiles recursos comunitarios.
Para ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a hacer frente a las necesidades de cuidado de los niños, también ofrecemos un Programa Infantil gratuito durante el tiempo que los padres asisten a clase. Los niños, desde bebés hasta 5º curso, pueden aprender, jugar y crecer en un entorno seguro y de apoyo.
Begin Anew está afiliado y certificado a nivel nacional por los ministerios Christian Women's Job Corps (CWJC®) y Christian Men's Job Corps (CMJC®). Estas organizaciones religiosas sirven a miles de personas necesitadas a través de más de 200 centros registrados en 45 estados y cinco países.
Empezar de nuevo Valores fundamentales
Creemos que todo el mundo merece la oportunidad de empezar de nuevo y caminar hacia un futuro mejor. 2 Corintios 5:17 proclama: "Por tanto, si alguno está en Cristo, nueva criatura es. Lo viejo ha pasado; he aquí que ha llegado lo nuevo".
Tratamos de atender a cada persona de forma integral, abordando la pobreza económica, social y espiritual.
Abordamos la pobreza económica a través de oportunidades educativas, la pobreza social mediante la tutoría y la creación de comunidades, y la pobreza espiritual compartiendo el evangelio de Jesucristo.
