Since 1973, Hope House has been a place where some of the most vulnerable youth find stability, safety, and a path toward healing.

Serving boys and girls ages 10–17 with complex trauma-many from disrupted adoptions- Hope House provides more than care. It offers a place to belong.

As we’ve reached the middle of the year, we’ve been taking time to reflect, and we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to say thank you to our donors, our supporters and our community.

Because of you, students at Hope House have had a safe place to stay, consistent support, and people walking alongside them every day.

Because of you, there have been moments of breakthrough, small steps forward towards lasting change.

Because of you, this work continues.

We don’t take that lightly. We’re truly grateful for the role you play in making Hope House what it is.

Below, find a few highlights from the past month and exciting things to come!

Whether you are new to our mission or have been alongside us for this journey, we are glad you are here! Visit our website to learn more about our purpose, programs and how you can get involved.

Sowing Hope.

Have you heard of SOWERS? We’ve highlighted the great work they do for our home recently, but WHO exactly are they? SOWERS are servants on wheels; Christians on a roll so to speak, doing good works, sharing Christ’s love and their love of RV’ing and travel.

Recently, Christian Living Magazine did a great feature on them pg 25, and continued on page 31.

Thank you, SOWERS, for continuing to help us sow seeds of hope for our kids.


Summer Memories Made!

Getting an education, chores, daily routines, the ebb and flow of life at Hope House enables our kids to establish the life skills that they need to be successful humans and fulfill God’s purpose for their life.

But this big beautiful world is full of amazing things to see, experience, and do, and summer was made for creating memories on the water!

This month, our kids got to tackle the great outdoors, enjoy the water, and get in touch with God’s creation, all under the guise of having fun!

These are memories that will last a lifetime, and we are thankful to our community of supporters who make experiences like this possible for our kids!


It’s time to give a shout-out to Bekah, for everything she does to enrich and bring joy to the kids who call Hope House, home!

Hope has a face, and future and a purpose, and one of the many notable things that Bekah has instilled in Hope House is something beautiful for those who are ready to move on and spread their wings.

A Wish, A Hope and A Prayer for each and every blessing that becomes a part of our family as they depart!

A Big Thanks to Our Summer Interns!

We’re saying farewell to these two incredible young people who shared their summer with us:

Becky has BA in Arts in Mathematics and Arts in Physics from MidAmerica Nazarene University. Becky used her many talents as a girl’s dorm direct care staff. She’s returning to pursue her Masters to be a teacher!

Grant has a BA in Ecology and Pre-Vet medicine. He served faithfully as overnight staff in the boys dorm this summer and was just accepted to study veterinary medicine in Michigan!

We would like to send them off with A wish, A hope and A prayer – a tradition started by Bekah, as we mentioned above!

In addition to our thanks, we wish them much success, we hope for a life filled with joy, and we pray their pursuits continue to align with God’s plan in their lives!


How can you get involved and help us continue to be able to provide a home for kids to heal and grow? The icons below represent ways individuals and community partners engage with us to meet the needs of this ministry.
