President and Founder:
James Dixon is a long time Gary, Indiana resident who came out of a lifestyle marked by addiction and drug dealing. After a short time in prison, he was released to a Christian halfway house in South Bend, Indiana where he was mentored and found the Lord. It was during that time, that he also connected with a ministry called Heroes Camp (heroescamp.com). As a result, James has worked hard to bring a similar ministry to Gary, (beginning in 1998); using his own funds to rent the Salvation Army Church and gym so young men and women could come and find hope and purpose in Christ.
"You can win, win, win, but if you're not equpping young men to be great husbands and fathers, you lose."
