In 2011, after being at No Longer Bound for 5 years God opened a door for Jason Wiley to carry God’s work out to West Ga…

 

NLB launched No Longer Bound West GA as a satellite campus in Bremen, Georgia. Jason was asked to run and oversee the program, along with Blake Chapman. Together Jason, Blake and 14 men in the program made the journey to west Georgia. The program grew bigger and faster than ever expected. This was the proof that God wanted a regeneration program in Bremen.

 

On November 12, 2013, Blake Chapman passed on to our creator in his sleep. It was a devastating loss for everyone. Blake was an integral part of the foundation of NLB West GA. He was truly a saint and could love like no other. Blake understood God's love for him and was able to display that to everyone. He remained open, willing, and teachable all the days of his life as a minister. He will always be loved and missed, but forever ingrained in the ministry. It was during this time that No Longer Bound's vision changed from a multi-campus program to being a singular campus with strategic partner programs. The first of these strategic partnerships was to be the west Georgia campus.

 

With NLB`s new vision came the birth of a new program. Jason and his staff began to work diligently on launching this new program. The first thing that Jason had to do was to decide on a name for the program. What better way for Blake Chapman a.k.a. “Paw” to have his legacy live on than to name the program after him: The Blake House. Blake remains a testament to God's awesome love, that he can always bring life from death.

 

Nate Stephens, The Blake House's Executive Director, was one of the original 14 men to make the journey west.  Together we stand with God, family, friends and community to make this vision a reality.
