America's Keswick

America's Keswick Colony of Mercy was founded on September 25, 1897, by William Raws, as a spiritual restoration center for men who had become addicted to alcohol. Having been miraculously saved and set free from his addiction, William Raws gave his life to the purpose of reclaiming men who, like himself, had lost everything to the bondage of alcoh... ol. With only $1.87, and unbounded faith in God, he began a work, the results of which only time and eternity will tell. The Colony of Mercy continues to be used by God to transform lives. Over the years, more than 20,000 men have passed through this place, and countless lives have been transformed by the grace and power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Many have enjoyed years of freedom from addiction since their lives were changed here at Keswick. Such miracles of grace can be found living godly lives throughout this country and abroad. Their frequent expressions of gratitude are heartwarming encouragements to new men arriving at the Colony. What Are Others Saying? Had a wonderful experience at the Colony.
