The Hope
House & Nehemiah Discipleship House Ministry
"Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a
new creation; the old is gone, the new has come."
II Corinthians 5:17
|
Hope House was modestly established in 1995, in a
two-bedroom apartment, with the capacity for serving
only 4 men. In October 2000 we were able to dedicate a
newly rehabbed, 24 bed facility to house this ministry.
Hope House is a residential program, designed to help
equip and encourage men, striving to reenter society
after prison and/or recovery from substance abuse, to be
productive Kingdom men.
Through this ministry, the men are provided with
foundational Biblical teachings, job readiness skills
(such as interviewing techniques), and encouragement
through a faith oriented 12-step support program.
After 3 months in Hope House, the men may work at one
of our partnering employers, and they receive counseling
in money management, savings, and Christian stewardship
among other areas. Many of the men are reconciled to
their spouses, children and/or other family during their
enlistment in the program.
After a successful 9 months, the men may choose to
move into the Nehemiah Discipleship House, where they continue to be
guided and discipled as they learn long range planning
and goal -setting. Other men move on to establish their
own households.
Now with 50 men on the roster and many others on the
waiting list, Hope House is currently filled to
capacity. Since opening in 1995, Hope House has touched
at least 2500 lives. Though not every story has had a
happy ending (yet), we have seen God transform the lives
of numerous men. |

We estimate that about 90 percent of the men have completely recreated
lives, and are enjoying productive, drug/alcohol free
lives.
