Overview
Dunklin Memorial Church was founded by Mickey and Laura Maye Evans in 1962 in a wilderness area of Martin County for the purpose of building a "city" for the spiritual, emotional, and physical regeneration of alcoholics and drug addicts. Their belief is that the Christian approach to alcoholism and drug addiction produces the most effective and enduring results.
In addition to operating a church for the benefit of the church members, it is the mission of Dunklin Memorial Church to offer a regeneration ministry that combines biblical teaching with labor in a closely supervised environment. Their belief is the teaching will affect all areas of work and personal life, and it is essential that men not only receive biblical instruction in the classroom setting but also in the work place, dorm rooms, worship center, and on the weekend with their families.
Furthermore, it is the mission of Dunklin to develop other ministries such as Overcomers Groups, Halfway Houses, and Cities of Refuge in new locations worldwide for the purpose of spreading this mission of Dunklin Memorial Church to other organizations and cultures.
The Boedecker Foundation supports the program needs of the Dunklin Memorial Church.
