THE GOOD SAMARITAN'S INN






621 South Erie Blvd. • Hamilton, Ohio 45011 • 513.896.5354


Our Community Speaks

"For many years, the churches have assigned the task of dealing with the problems
of criminal activities, and alcoholism and drug abuse recovery, to various social
agencies. These agencies were never designed to deal with the spiritual aspect of
these problems. The Good Samaritan’s Inn is an attempt by the Body of Christ to
fill this void."


R.T. Rogers, Probate Judge,
Butler County, OH




"I have known Josh Willis for at least 10 years. During this time he has been very
instrumental in drug abuse recovery, and the rehabilitation of addicts in our area.
The Good Samaritan's Inn has been a constant positive influence in Butler County
and serves the people who need it most."


Courtney E. Combs,
Ohio State Representative




"As a pastor, I am often asked where to go or where to send a loved one who really
needs and wants help with drug abuse recovery. My reply is constant - Josh Willis
and The Good Samaritan's Inn in Hamilton County, Ohio. Given the experience I
had in Houston among those who needed a residential therapeutic community,
I would not waste someone's time or lift their expectations if I did not believe in
this ministry...THERE IS HOPE!"


Cleddie Keith, Pastor
Heritage Fellowship, Florence, KY




"I have known and co-labored with Rev. Willis for many years and can boldly say
that his work with alcohol and drug abuse recovery is the strongest I have ever
encountered. People are broken open, to the depth of their hearts, as Josh tells
his own story of personal deliverance and preaches the Word."


James P. Crabb, Senior Pastor




"Delivered from a horrible hell of drug abuse, he knows the pain and frustrations
of the addict. He speaks their language, and he's street-smart. But now that he
has been Saved by the Blood of Jesus, and filled with the Holy Spirit, he's able
to provide a life-line to people who are drowning in a sea of drug addiction and
alcoholism. The Good Samaritan's Inn cares about displaced souls and is making
a difference in the lives of people that secular rehab programs cannot help.
I encourage you to support the work of drug abuse recovery provided by
The Good Samaritan's Inn with your prayers and financial support."


Rev. Sam A. Luke, Jr.




"Josh Willis is a personal friend of mine as well as a hard-working Spirit-filled
minister. He has a great inner-city ministry in Hamilton County, Ohio...I highly
recommend that you hook up with Josh in prayer and/or financial support for
this mission. Josh is genuine, wins a lot of souls, helps many people in their
journey to drug abuse recovery, and is constantly looking for partners to
help support this work of God!"


Mark T. Barclay, Preacher of Righteousness




"I believe in the ministry that has been placed on Josh Willis by our Lord.
In addition to being a man firmly committed to the Great Commission,
his work in alcohol and drug abuse recovery is exceptional. His ministering
to drug addicts, alcoholics and the hurting may best be described in these
words of Jesus, 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed
me to preach the gospel to the poor, He has sent me to heal the broken
hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of site to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year
of the Lord'."

Gods Way Looks To Expand Services

Matthew Short

The Christian Ministry known as Gods Way to Recovery is approaching its 15th anniversary of helping those in need. The ministry was founded by Reverend Roger Wood who struggled with drug and alcohol addiction himself for nearly 13 years. Ending up in a state-run detoxification center in upstate Delaware, Wood turned to religion as he began to reflect on his life. He took a vowel to God, that if God could take away his addictions, he would serve the Lord for the remainder of his life.

Wood continued his promise in 1995 when he decided to help people who were bound and unable to break free from their addictions by starting his own ministry known as Gods Way to Recovery.

“We are an outreach ministry that helps people with the gospel of Jesus Christ,” said Carrie Wood, Assistant Executive Director for Gods Way.

The ministry operates a transition home for those in need. The program began by offering a temporary home which housed up to five people. Since then, a new house has been bought that can hold up to 14 people. Residences are permitted to stay for 6 to 9 months as they make the transition into the recovery process. Those that meet the criteria to qualify must abide by the house rules which emphasize praise and worship.

“The transition homes provide a Christian living environment to men that will empower them to function in a mainstream society,” said Wood.

The organization also operates four thrift stores which provide various merchandise including furniture, jewelry, clothing and antiques. The four stores are located throughout the state of Delaware including Milford, Rehoboth Beach, Dover and Georgetown. All stores provide financial support to various outreach ministries throughout the United States and affordable items to the local community.

The ministry also runs various programs including a benevolence volunteer exchange program, support group meetings and Family Biblical Counseling. The benevolence volunteer program is set up for people in need, those who need community service and those on work release. Those who sign up for the program can come to the store, sign up and receive on-the-job training.

The organization also runs a prison ministry in at the Sussex Correctional Institute in Georgetown. As of now, the program consists of nine volunteers who provide spiritual strength and guidance to prisoners by preaching the teaching’s of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

As Gods Way to Recovery ministry continues to expand and serve its community, the ministry plans to open a fifth thrift store in Wilmington, Delaware and a transitional home for women in the near future. More information on Gods Way to Recovery can be found at www.godswaytorecovery.com.
