Meet our Team

Matthew Milliman

Executive Director/CEO

I grew up seeing a lot of dysfunction which really altered how I viewed life. My dad was a good man but drank a lot and wasn’t there for us like he should have been. This left me empty and looking for acceptance in all the wrong places. My only identity was in the alcohol I drank or the drugs I did. Coming through Adult and Teen Challenge helped rescue me from a lifestyle of addiction & taught me how to live again. I am now walking in my true calling helping men and their families find freedom from addiction! 

Chris & Ashley Gates

Chris -Program Manager  /  Ashley – Financial Administrator/CPA

We have a heart for Mercy House ATC because not only was it the avenue God used to encounter Chris and give him true freedom from drugs and alcohol but it was also the way we met!  We met at Chris’ graduation from Mercy House ATC in 2018 and married in 2019.  Almost four years later, we have a beautiful daughter and the Lord is blessing us with another baby girl.  Mercy House ATC has a heart for the broken and the lost and that is exactly where our hearts align.  God is using Mercy House ATC to change so many legacies as He changed ours.  Our daughter will never experience a Mommy and Daddy that do not strive to live holy lives for the Lord.  We are blessed and humbled to be a part of this amazing team.  Partnering with Jesus to help restore families and reconcile men back to Him is our greatest honor.

Kim Brink

Counselor

By God’s grace and His mercy I am able to write this. At 56 years old I came to Georgetown, MS to start a new life in Christ. The prior 38 years of my life,I had been a “functioning” alcoholic and drug addict who had ran from the life God had planned for me. Bound and determined not to run again, to set my feet on the solid foundation of Truth, and seek a relationship with Christ, I have been made “new.” Since 2010 God has had His Hand on directing me and, today, I am the Director of Education and an ordained minister of the Gospel. I give God the glory, honor and praise for His love, patience, and compassion. Thank you, Jesus!

Intake Coordinator

For 40 years I lived in darkness. I spent most of those years hopelessly addicted to gambling. I thought, “It is just who I am what I would always be.” In 2014 my addiction landed me in jail and from there I came to MHATC,where I found hope in Christ Jesus. My marriage, as well as my relationship with my family has been restored and my wife and I now work for MHATC and are able to help others find the same hope through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Mandy Serna

Re-Entry C0-Director

Early on, I learned that love was equal to acceptance and became very performance-driven. I spiraled out of control once alcohol and drugs came into my life. After I came to Adult and Teen Challenge, I learned who I was in Christ and my acceptance was found in Him. I know without a doubt that the Lord has restored to me the path I veered off of all those years ago.
