John 3:16 Ministries is the result of an eight year vision of a man who made a lot of bad choces in his past and went through a similar ministry where he became saved and changed his way ot life. John 3:16 Ministries is a non-profit 501-C3 organization dedicated to helping men with addictions and does not receive funding from state or federal government. Their funding comes from local churches, individuals, local businesses, and monetary donations.

This facility is a long-term program with many men staying at least 6 months to a year. When men contact John 3:16 Ministries to find out about entering the program, many ask what the charge is; and Bryan Tuggle gladly tells them, “Jesus already paid the cost in full.” That’s correct--men stay at this camp free of charge. Unlike other facilities that charge a large amount and generally only have a 28-day program, John 3:16 Ministies is a long term facility and is free to everyone entering.

The ministry is interdenominational, and has a board of directors which consists of ten Christian men who love the Lord and have a heart for the hurting. The future holds some very exciting things for this ministry. Soon the ministry will be offering classes with hands-on training in areas such as carpentry, in which the men who complete the class can be eligible for certification, which is available through the University of Arkansas Community College (UACCB) in Batesville.

The ministry does not offer treatment, but it does offer the cure - JESUS CHRIST IS THE ANSWER.
