Under HIS Construction believes everyone deserves an opportunity to build a better life through education, hard work, and responsibility.

We work with those afflicted with addiction and whom society deems to be lost causes by offering a second chance to at-risk men and women who would otherwise be lost to drugs, institutions or death with the end goal of a successful reintegration back to society.

• Nationwide there are 134,471 overdose deaths every year
• 70% of men and women will re-offend
• 46% will return to prison within 3 years

UHC is working to change these statistics in New Mexico!

Chris and Sonya Cleveland

Sonya Lia is known for her dynamic testimony and speaks throughout the city. She completed her seminary and has been ordained with the Church of God.

Chris Cleveland

Reverend Chris Cleveland is vice president of Under HIS Construction and founder of New Path Ministries of New Mexico's Men's Discipleship Program. He enjoys developing opportunities to break the vicious cycle of drug addiction, crime and incarceration in men's lives and to help them build a better life through the power of Jesus Christ, education, hard work and responsibility; becoming priests of their households and leaders in their community.

​When you look at Chris's life today as a successful business and ministry leader you may get the impression that his life was typical of a New Mexico middle-class family, with all the perks and advantages. However, if you take a closer look behind the scenes of Chris's 30-year career in protection, training, speaking in corrections and private sector security you will see how it came to an abrupt end after spiraling out of control with his drug addiction. But the detours, consequences, and unfathomable cost of his decisions have all been used by God to lead himself and others on the road to victory in Christ. Chris currently serves as Pastor of Under HIS Construction, as a Reverend with New Beginnings Church of God, and as a volunteer for Prison Fellowship in New Mexico.
