Look at what God is doing at RATL!
2025 was a year of new opportunities for RATL! We were able to watch God guide our footsteps as we served the amazing women and children He sent our way.
This year we were blessed to serve:
After School Programs
Enrichment Highlight: Around the World
One way RATL helps children experience holistic restoration is through our “Around The World” enrichment program. Each week during our After School Program, staff choose a country to explore and we teach kids about the country’s history, culture and food. The best part of “Around The World” is that we get to try a popular food from that country, giving children an opportunity to explore the world one bite at a time!

Summer Camp
This year RATL hosted our Summer Camp at the Solomon’s Temple Foundation and it was truly a summer to remember! Thanks to Annalise, our Camps Coordinator, this summer went better than any of us could have imagined! God used her administrative gift to organize and coordinate a camp that brought joy to the kids and staff! We thank God for Annalise, her attention to detail, thoughtful and heart for the mission of RATL!

School Year Camps
This year RATL began hosting School Year Camps to further support families on their journey to self-sustainability. During the weeks that kids were out of school, RATL hosted day camps filled with enriching activities, Bible lessons, snacks and loads of time under the trees.

Every Monday, women connected to RATL gathered at Solomon’s Temple Foundation for a time of bible study, prayer journaling, sharing life updates, and encouraging one another. While the women were enjoying their fellowship, their kids were enjoying their own youth fellowship with Bible devotionals, meaningful conversation, crafts, and games!

Family Services
Camp Lighthouse has been one of our strongest partners in helping families experience holistic restoration! This year we were excited to deepen our partnership by having our first annual Family Weekend Retreat! Our inaugural group of families enjoyed a weekend of restoration in God’s beautiful outdoors. Moms enjoyed time of fellowship, hiking and reflection while the kids enjoyed a day of activities and games. The families came together to enjoy time at the lake and a movie night. We are grateful for our friends at Camp Lighthouse and their partnership in helping our families on their journey to resotration.

Partnership Highlight: The Richmont Trauma Center
RATL is blessed to be partnered with Richmont Trauma Center to provide our families with holistic mental health support! We are grateful for Mr. Eric, who joins us weekly during After School and Summer Camp programs to provide social-emotional learning activities for our students. He also offers vital support to our staff by educating us on trauma-informed practices and co-regulating strategies. Thank you Mr. Eric!!

Thank you for walking this path with us.
“2025 was a year of new opportunities for RATL, and God led us every step of the way. In Fall of 2025, after a loss in grant funding, we had to end our After School site at the Boyce-Ansley School. However, this created an opportunity for us to deepen our partnership with Solomon's Temple and expand our Fellowship and Camp programs! Because of your support of RATL’s mission, we were able to deepen our care for families in Atlanta, ensuring they are no longer walking alone. Thank you for being a part of what God is doing in the lives of our families!”
