LIGHT IN
DARK PLACES
Since 2011, Clerestory’s mission has been to provide rehabilitative and developmental opportunities for men, women and children moving out of crisis, addiction or similar recovery situations, or situations of poverty or abuse. After 15 years of raising and generating funds for various projects, churches, and organizations, we believe we have been called to more.
MAKING DISCIPLES
Our new mission is to make disciples. True disciples. Disciples that are total. Disciples that are unburdened by this world and its pursuits. That are fully, 100%, Kingdom-focused. The only riches they seek are those which are eternal. The only ambitions they have involve God’s Kingdom and His Presence. Total, complete, almost unhinged. They will be marked not by generosity but “radical” surrender. They will not “give” a portion of “their” time and resources. Rather, they will recognize that they own nothing at all, that nothing is “theirs” because they have been bought and paid for and belong to God. They will see themselves as stewards, not owners, of their money, talents and gifts, and will see that these things have been given to them to serve God and His Kingdom, not to enrich and pleasure themselves and those they love and like. Our new mission is to make disciples that have made their residence in Heaven (because they have been crucified with Christ), but for a little longer still walk in this world.
WHO WE ARE
Clerestory, Inc. is an Alabama non-profit corporation that was approved in June 2011 as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Clerestory (f/k/a Milo Group, Inc.) was formed in January, 2011 by Greg Mixon in order to provide a vehicle through which economic development and related initiatives for the benefit of the poor and at-risk could be implemented. While Clerestory began with a focus on serving those in need, we came to recognize that lasting transformation flows from lives fully surrendered to Christ. Today, we focus on making disciples, believing that faithful followers of Christ naturally serve the poor, pursue justice, and love their neighbors.
