In 1981, Mac and Sandra Gober founded Canaan Land Ministries in Alabama. Canaan Land is a Bible training center (not a halfway house or escape from jail) where men are able to receive help and encounter the only one who can truly change lives. After Mac’s passing, Sandra and their two sons, Caleb and Joshua, continue to lead the ministry. Canaan Land has helped hundreds of men turn lost and broken lives into productive and fruitful lives by providing an opportunity for students to accept and follow Jesus Christ, then to study, understand, and practice godly principles in daily life, developing Christ-like character. Canaan Land also provides an understanding of how to deal with life controlling problems and how to prevent them and provides educational opportunities and job skills development
