The Apostle Paul took temporary shelter at a place named Fair Havens when he was faced with adverse conditions while traveling to Rome (Acts 27:8). The harbor at Fair Havens provided sanctuary for Paul as he prepared for the rest of his journey.

In a similar way, Midland Fair Havens serves as a place of refuge and restoration for single mothers as they prepare to make a better life for themselves and their children.

The mission of Midland Fair Havens is to equip single mothers and their children for self-sufficient living by addressing their educational, vocational, spiritual, and emotional needs in residential and non-residential settings.

Midland Fair Havens serves women with pre-teen children who are homeless or who are in danger of becoming homeless. They come from all types of backgrounds but share a past history of unhealthy relationships and limited life skills. They are highly motivated to become better parents and to provide their children a more stable home and a brighter future. Many are referred to Midland Fair Havens through Safe Place (shelter for battered women), local churches, and other service agencies.
