September’s Servant Leader story

Growing up in Michigan, September Foisy heard about His Mansion often. For her parents, Keith and Karla, it was where they met in the mid-1990s, and an important part of their story. September grew up hearing about the growth each of them experienced on The Hill, and saw that strong friendships and vulnerability had been instilled there.

It seemed to her a place where lasting impacts were made. Her parents were still in close friendship with many of the people they had known there, and their faith in Christ had grown deeper as a result of being at His Mansion.

Strong faith, strong friendships and vulnerability were all areas September wanted to grow in. She visited in 2024 to explore becoming a Servant Leader, and after finishing her schooling in Occupational Therapy she applied to the Servant Leader Program in the summer of 2025. A few months later she began.

September is about six months into her one-year commitment as a Servant Leader. As she receives training in ministry and develops leadership skills, her walk with the Lord is growing stronger. “There has been a lot of learning dependence on God and that I am a human being that has limits,” she says. She has “been realizing that I don’t have control over everything. He has control,” and finds that a comforting reality for the present and the future.

She is also being changed by living with and serving the women in the Resident Recovery Program. “I love spending time with the Residents and seeing them choose growth,” she says. Seeing how openly the Residents share is affecting her own honesty with God and with others. She recognizes “the amount that the Residents have taught me about pursuing God and being honest and leaning on each other in community.”

The Servant Leader Program is also preparing her for what comes after His Mansion. She hopes to return to occupational therapy or pursue a dream of working with special needs children. “No matter what I do, there have been a lot of skills that I’ve learned here that would help me to see people better and to support and care for them.”

The generational impact of God’s love is often witnessed at His Mansion. Sometimes it breaks generations of addiction. Other times, as with September, generations follow Him in service and vocation.

The Resident Recovery Program

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.” Mark 16:6

Freedom from bondage. Freedom for life.

A life of addiction often leads to emotional, relational, spiritual and physical brokenness. At His Mansion, men and women in addiction receive holistic healing within the context of community.

The program serves Residents through:

• Weekly counseling
• Addiction recovery education
• Spiritual and character formation classes
• Christ-centered community
• Purposeful work
• Structure and discipline
• Preparation and planning for post-graduate life

Hear from a Resident

“Being a part of the His Mansion community forced me to see outside of myself in a way that brought so much hope. For a long time, I believed that I was not capable of having life-giving relationships. Being at His Mansion, I was able to learn how to be loved, and how to love others. This is the call of Jesus.”

Book your trip

Work Group season is arriving. Work Groups are an opportunity for a church or organization to take part in what God is doing in the lives of the men and women at His Mansion. Groups are already booked from North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts for the summer season, and spots remain available.

Prayer requests

• For those currently in addiction and in need of a place of refuge, that the Lord would lead people to His Mansion who are seeking change through Jesus Christ.
• April is family visit month. Pray for Residents and their families to have time together that encourages and strengthens their faith, relationships and recovery.
• Four new Servant Leaders arrived in March. Pray for intimacy in their relationships with God while serving others.
• New renovations in the men’s and women’s dorms, that these spaces would reflect the dignity of the Residents as they build their lives on Christ.
