Abba’s Family was founded in 2007 by seven Tulsans committed to
responding to the needs of the poor and, in so doing, the transformation
of the church. Its mission was defined by a deep sense that “the
faithful” have walked away from their responsibility and capacity to
offer core life change for those who live with the many faces of
poverty. More recently, Abba’s Family has directed much of its attention
to the needs of mentally ill. It works to build bridges of connectivity
between the faith community and formerly homeless mentally ill men and
women. The faith community is being transformed and mentally ill men and
women are being more fully included in the life of their neighborhoods
and finding unprecedented levels of recovery as a result.
