      Terry Bartlow

      I am Terry Bartlow and am honored to be serving with the Godbey Giardina Law Group as a project development manager and board member with their Building Hope Foundation. My life has been spent in the world of teenagers and elementary school children as a youth minister and classroom teacher. Learning how the world works (and doesn’t) has been a passion. Utilizing those learnings is providing a great platform from which to launch into the new endeavor.Being outdoors hiking, fishing, canoeing, simply marveling at nature and watching for some of the millions of little miracles that surround me each day is where I love to spend my extra time.

      Foundation Support

       the grant that the Godbey Giardina Building Hope Foundation gifted Truth in Nature.  As you know this grant was for electrical repair/upgrade and air conditioning at the new regional facility.  This project will provide mentors and boys a safe and fun area to hold our overnight programs for years to come.  We are happy to report the project has been completed, and all funds have been used for the completion of the project.  We are happy to report that we will start running our monthly programs at the facility on May 16, 2025. This will be a valuable resource as we continue to reach the fatherless boys in and around the St. Tammany and Washington Parish area.  Please find attached pictures of the completed project.
       
      We want to extend our thanks to each of you for investing into this ministry and the mission to engage and reach the fatherless boys of this nation for Jesus.  If you have any follow up questions please let me know.
