Our Mission

Changing Lives from the Other Side of the Fence

Another Blessed Ministry is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted in faith and driven by lived experience. Founded by Tony Barnes — who knows firsthand what it means to overcome homelessness and crisis — ABM delivers real, hands-on restoration to Richmond's most vulnerable.

We don't just hand out resources. We walk alongside people through our 4-Domain Life Coaching model, addressing Personal, Social, Economic, and Spiritual needs — because lasting change requires the whole picture.

The 6-Pillar Mandate

How We Restore Lives

01

Scars to Stars Life Coaching

Our signature 12–16 week program transforms trauma into leadership through 4-domain coaching: Personal, Social, Economic, and Spiritual.

75% completion rate
02

Vocational Mentorship

Career training, digital literacy, and workforce development that leads to real jobs with real wages — $18–$26/hr entry level.

82% job retention
03

Animal Welfare

Emergency food, vet care, spay/neuter services, and family preservation — because our cuddly friends who can't speak for themselves deserve compassion too.

Real Impact

Stories That Prove It Works

“I was sleeping under a bridge. ABM didn't just give me a meal — they gave me a coach, a plan, and a reason to believe I could be more. Today I'm employed, housed, and mentoring others who were where I was.”

Scars to Stars Graduate

“When we almost lost our dog Max because we couldn't afford vet care, ABM stepped in. They didn't just help Max — they connected us with housing resources and coaching. Our whole family is stable now.”
