Amy and David Lancaster were prepared to serve as missionaries anywhere God took them, even if it meant moving overseas. The pair were surprised when they felt their hearts pulled towards making a life in the heart of downtown Jackson. Initially, We Will Go Ministries operated out of the Lancaster family home on Congress Street. Eventually, the program outgrew their original location and expanded outwards, deeper into the downtown community. "Our woodshop and coffee shop both operate on Farish Street, as well as our basketball ministry, after-school program, and food and clothing ministries." says David.

We Will Go Arts, a branch of the ministry, provides a safe space for creative expression and creates amazing art pieces available for the public to purchase. Inspired by the belief God wants to restore and renew the things that have long been forgotten, artists at the ministry handcraft pieces from locally sourced wood that would otherwise be thrown away. "Using this reclaimed wood to create beautiful art illustrates our Creator's heart for the restoration and redemption of our lives," smiles Amy Lancaster. In order to provide real employment opportunities for those in the area, the art pieces are made by both missionaries and local Jackson residents. More than just a job, employment at We Will Go Arts means the promise of working in a positive work environment and the opportunity to receive discipleship and mentoring. These art pieces would make the perfect gift for someone you love or an excellent addition to any room in your home.
