HOPE HOUSE

...a Place to Call Home
 

Jeremiah's Hope is a ministry dedicated to helping orphans transition from dependent living (orphanage) to independent living.  For many years, we have envisioned a ministry that will allow us to walk with the children through three phases of their lives.  We seek to minister to them during 1) their years living at the orphanage, 2) their times living in the transitional living center and 3) as they begin their adult lives and begin work.

For two years, Jeremiah's Hope has operated a transitional living center.  During that time, 13 teenagers have lived in the TLC and benefited from the mentoring which takes place at home while they receive their education at local trade and technical schools.  This June, 5 of those teens will graduate trade school and will begin working or attending higher education.

It has been our dream to develop a small network of "Independent Living Centers" for graduates of the transitional living center to move into after leaving the TLC.  These would be apartments set up to give the tens a place to live for one year while they find jobs, explore housing options and begin their adult lives.

We believe this is a great opportunity for you to continue to play an active role in their lives and be a resource for them to turn to during those first few months of living on their own. 

In early June 2006, Jeremiah's Hope will purchase a two room apartment located just one block from our office and transitional living center in Mariupol.  Funds for the purchase of this apartment have been made available through donations at our Abilene, TX fundraising dinner (Dec. 05), individuals and by Hope International Adoption.  HOPE HOUSE will open in August and will house 2 of this years graduates.

If you would like to assist with HOPE HOUSE, we are in need of $2,000 for furniture and fresh wallpaper/paint.  If you would like to make a contribution, please give online using our partner JustGive.org.
