Hope House

From The January 6, 2016 Messenger…”Several years ago, one family decided to turn a tragedy into a blessing for other families which became known as the Hope House. The Hope House became a temporary residence for those who were victims of house fires, home displacement, and even for those impacted by the May 2010 floods.

Since 2010 the Hope House has been in the state of transition. As we turn the page to the new year, so do we turn the key and open the door of the Hope House to a new ministry, which comes to us by way of another families pain turned into possibility. The Hope House will be the host location for the Davis House, a Child advocacy group based in Williamson County with a neighboring location in Lewis County. The Davis House makes it their mission to intervene in the lives of children and families when issues of violence abuse or other domestic related tragedies have impacted the life of a child.

The Davis House and their skilled trained workers who coordinate with law-enforcement officials will finally have A resource permanently located in Hickman County because of the open doors of the Hope House. Our lease agreement with this great organization (the total of one U.S. dollar per year) will provide a home where children and families can receive the benefit of their services and find hope once again. Greater details will come in the following days, but for now we can rejoice and be glad that our reach into a community we love continues to impact the lives of many and through the work of “all things” we see the goodness of our God (Romans 8:28).”
