Our vision is to free and equip men, women, and youth who are wounded, broken hearted and still in pain and suffering and make them whole again through the power and grace of God.

I found House of Hope on the internet as I was frantically searching for a close to home aftercare. Some people said that 90 days would never be enough, but we had faith that God had directed us to House of Hope. House of Hope provided a small group setting, with personal attention, but most of all, we found loving people that genuinely cared and showed the love of Christ through their counseling and concern.

My husband finished the program in September and continues to go twice a week to help out with the group. He enjoys sharing and meeting with others and helping out however he can.

Our family is so grateful to the Lord for restoration, deliverance and sobriety. It is our desire for God to use us however He chooses. We just want to share what a miracle God did in our lives to anyone who will listen. God will make a way if you submit your will to him. We are living proof of that. Thank you House of Hope for all your love, attention and support to our family. We are celebrating 11 months sobriety on February 13, 2004. We give God all the glory!!

I am a new creature in Christ. I come from a spiritually religious background & was active in the church, but only as much as I felt I had to. I wanted to live for God on Sunday & party like a maniac during the week. Alcohol was the key ingredient to that manic behavior. Other drugs, such as crystal meth, weed, coke & pill, soon followed, but alcohol was my drug of choice. The last 15 years are a blur. I had no meaning in my life, no accountability & no control. I did feel some remorse, but the addiction overrode any measure of reasonable or responsible behavior. About a year ago my health started failing. I realized I did have a problem. The consequences of 15 years of alcohol & drug use caught up with me.

After two months of combination of in-patient & out-patient rehabilitation, two relapses & much prayer, I feel as though God truly healed me. Aftercare treatment was the next step. House of Hope is exactly what God intended for the last part of this journey out of addiction. I knew God had put these angels in my path. The counselors at House of Hope have helped me with past & present issues & have equipped me for the future. I graduated in June 2003, but God has layed it on my heart to continue my recovery at House of Hope. Gloria Harrell, the founder of House of Hope, has a God-given vision of ministry so relevant to today’s society. When I made three months sober, Rhonda, the Director of Family Services, gave me a diploma & serenity coin. I carry that coin to remind me of the past, present & future – one step at a time. House of Hope is truly a blessing from God.

I lost my job and had become homeless. I didn’t have anyone to turn to for help. Unfortunately my family could not help me at the time. I called everywhere looking for help then I found House of Hope’s transitional housing program. I was amazed at all the things offered in this program had to offer, it was exactly what I needed to get me back on my feet again. I feel the transitional housing program is a life saving program. I know House of Hope has been a God send to me. I am truly grateful for all they have done for me.
