Susan & Larry Benedict

Welcome to Full Circle! We are a Non-Profit 501(c) (3).

Larry Benedict, CEO and Founder, comes with personal life experiences that adds to his passion of making a difference in people’s lives struggling with addictions, homelessness and hardships. His belief that a balance of Jesus and a recovery process to apply to everything in life will make the difference. Being authentic and real and sharing together with like minded people is the key to transformation. His desire to speak the truth with his personal testimony and giving glory to God for his transformation contributes to the success. He assisted in spear heading an outreach program that started in 2008 at a local church together with his wife, Susan. In addition he and his wife Susan, started Full Circle Non-Profit 501 (c) (3) in 2012.

Susan Benedict, CFO, Treasure, comes with a desire and passion to inspire and build into women and families lives. After experiencing personal hardships and setbacks she found Jesus and is committed to helping others in their transition and growth. It all started with a passion to serve youth in 1996 with a youth ministry at a local church in Ohio for 4 years. She later went on staff at an international mission organization serving college students and overseeing recruitment and training of volunteers for 4 years. She felt led to relocate to San Diego to serve women and children in transition with some local ministries. Susan’s heart is to build personal relationships and extend assistance spiritually and practically. Upon marrying Larry, their vision merged making this a great combination to advance God’s kingdom through the desires of their heart together as a couple.

It was apparent an amazing fellowship was blossoming through their serving over the 3 and half year time span with dedication and purpose to build relationships and make a difference in peoples lives.

Larry and Susan’s vision and mission evolved in the community with an amazing team of volunteers, thus Full Circle emerged. They formed a non-profit in 2012 to encompass all that God has inspired and equipped them to do.The fellowship and extended services of providing before, during and aftercare through the FCRP model was a huge success. Their life and Full Circle’s initiatives are evolving and continue to represent their commitment to impact the people’s lives and show Jesus love.

Introducing Full Circle’s new initiatives August 1, 2015.

We have served faithfully in North County San Diego for 7 years in July! Wow! What an amazing journey and privilege to serve thousands of people! Full Circle has been a Non-Profit for 11 years come July 4th! Together with our volunteer team we had provided a unique recovery process through our fellowship/outreach and extended services. We have demonstrated a process that brings value to the lives of many and the community. We provided a safe place for fellowship, dinner, recovery tools for adults and children to make better choices and share Jesus love through his principles. We have sponsored, mentored, delivered food, clothes, furniture and networked with other resources for people when able. We held car wash fundraisers and provided a place for people to give back. Our motto has been “serve others and they will in turn serve and everything comes around full circle”. We have united together in victories and challenges. We have filled a gap in the community and demonstrated a successful process. Most of all we have been a family when needed and developed relationships with so many that we will cherish forever. You and your children are in our hearts! Our hope has always been to make an impact in the lives of others to show Jesus love, give them tools and practical assistance to have a more enriched life.

We have achieved our goal with Jesus help. And with everything comes CHANGE!

Full Circle Non-Profit is evolving!!! We have turned the corner and it couldn’t be at better time for a couple of reasons. As we felt God pressing upon us to reevaluate our services, abilities, resources and future opportunities – it is with unison that Larry and I desire to transition personally and redirect Full Circle initiatives. We are taking steps to launch some home base businesses, relocate up north where Larry is from and expand Full Circle initiatives in a new way. Still in process.

As we were praying and pondering when the right time would be for this transition, we were introduced to a pastor at Emmanuel Bible Church. They had plans to serve in many ways that we have and more, at the very time we were thinking of making the change. They had the resources and a refreshed spirit to continue in similar aspects to our unique and demonstrated FCRP within their ministry and church. Clearly God has provided through us and now them for this community. We PASSED on the torch for the fellowship PART after our 7 year celebration on July 25.

Some of the progress at that church didn’t happen the way we had hoped. We never know what God is up to, even though we think we do. But through our time, we served for a great cause that is known as the FCRP. Full Circle Recovery Process.

So what’s happening with FULL CIRCLE in the NEW chapter? We are still a non-profit and continue to serve through this umbrella, but we do it differently.

Here is our revised mission and a few of the initiatives we are working on that fit with our mission of serving families in transition. They coincide with our new direction for our life. We will continue to clearly define them as we go forward. (See formal version on “Home Page” – “Mission & Vision” of website)
