Every minute of every day, someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor, a person like you who makes the choice to donate. When you make a blood donation, you join a very select group. Currently only 3 out of every 100 people in America donate blood. From its beginning, Life South has formed a community of service, of generous, strong and decent people bound by beliefs beyond themselves.

The Regeneration Program at No Longer Bound is a 10-month, in-patient process of recovery. NLB is NOT a rehabilitation program. By definition, rehabilitation is defined as "to restore to a former state". At NLB, we believe that the former state of a person before arrival at NLB was filled with hurt, pain, and disappointment. Instead, we have intentionally adopted the word regeneration. Regeneration is "a radical change for the better". At NLB, we believe that each person who comes here for ministry will have an encounter with Jesus Christ that will lead to a radical change for the better. This change leads to an eternal freedom from the bondage of drug and alcohol addiction, hurt, and pain.

Rivers of The World is a not-for-profit Christian ministry that targets remote river basins. Our goal is to serve with people who live in these river basins and those we serve determine our projects. We ask them what makes up their greatest challenges and covenant with them to meet and overcome those challenges together. ROW emphasizes that it is their country, their village, their culture, but our problem. Our goal is to serve in an atmosphere of mutual concern and respect. ROW projects run the gamut of human, physical and spiritual needs. Academics, research, education and medical/dental concerns go hand in hand with church planting, construction, evangelism and Bible distribution. Volunteers are welcomed to assist in the implementation of ROW mission projects. JCPC has been involved with ROW for many years, going on mission trips to Belize, Brazil, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic.
