Lynhaven Is A Beautiful 18-Acre Women’s Retreat Center In Hammond, LA, Owned And Operated By The New Orleans Mission. This Campus Serves As The Corporate Headquarters For Our Women’s One-Year Discipleship And Recovery Program, Where They Can Focus On Their Recovery And Relationship With Christ While Avoiding The Noise, Temptations, And Distractions Associated With The City.

The percentage of abused, human trafficked, and homeless women in New Orleans has increased dramatically over the years. The New Orleans Mission is addressing this to make a positive impact in our region.

“These women are the most vulnerable in our city,” says David Bottner, CEO for the New Orleans Mission. “Of the homeless women in New Orleans, 92 percent have been abused sexually or physically. The problem is deeper than meets the eye, and it is our duty to help them.

The Women’s Discipleship program offers these hurting ladies a safe drug and alcohol-free environment where they can focus on their recovery and how they use everyday choices to take charge of their health and well-being. A good mindset ultimately leads to forgiveness and a healed heart. Hope is instilled daily as we provide a source of dignity and purpose for every woman in our program. Based on results and large graduating classes, we know these women are successfully rebuilding what they may feel is the tattered remnants of their self-worth and be able to fulfill God’s purpose for their life. We’re seeing the results in the lives of so many of our women graduates.

The new Lynhaven Retreat is a beautiful 18 acre property in Hammond, LA where these hurting women can get out of the distractions of the city and focus on their recovery.
