“ADF has been a valuable resource to Holland Rescue Mission for many years now. We want to operate with fidelity to the instructions of God’s word. ADF helps us accomplish that task and they work to ensure our freedom to operate according to our faith convictions. My hat’s off to ADF for their partnership in preserving the character of ministries like ours all across America."Darryl Bartlett
Executive Director of Holland Rescue Mission, Citygate Member

"Who you gonna call? In this case, it will not be the 'Ghostbusters'.... As a nonprofit professional, I've learned to know who to call when facing a particular dilemma. The truth is: most local legal counsel lack the knowledge and expertise to guide Christian nonprofits and ministries with relevant and current legal counsel in these challenging and litigious times. ADF are those professionals. Recently, they assisted us as we implemented new bylaws. And, if or when the day comes when our religious freedoms are attacked, I know now that we'll have proper preparations and protections for our ministry."Jeremy Montgomery
President/CEO ofSunday Breakfast Rescue Mission, Citygate Member

"We would never be here now but that ADF came to our defense. ADF has a culture of honor — with each other, toward their clients, even in how they handle the people that the lawsuit is against. They’re my heroes."Sherrie Laurie
Executive Director of Downtown Hope Center, Citygate Member
