The Dream
Years ago, a middle-aged Methodist minister called on his cousin, a hard-working farmer and county leader, to share a dream, a vision.
The visionary preacher was Rev. Robert Kea, and his cousin was beloved County Commissioner W. W. Kea, who deeded a tract of land to fulfill the dream. It was one of the most potentially valuable sites in the county, at the intersection of the Dublin road and the first completed miles of I-16.
Everyone who knew Wilbur Kea was not surprised when he gave the land to Jesus. Rev. Kea’s vision was the sight of a large cross of Jesus towering over the growing traffic of the Macon-Savannah expressway.
Rev. Kea’s dream grew into the Christian Family Center, emphasizing Jesus Christ as Lord and a focus on families.
Today the Christian Family Center has a New Life ministry, an extension of Kea’s dream, a non-profit, Christian based drug and alcohol rehabilitation center for men to break the bondage of addiction and restoring the suffering families.
