Message From The Director
The Director's Article of Appreciation
We are regularly reminded of the fact that we are
blessed here at House of Hope. I can actually feel the
presence of God moving and blessing our guests as they
are making decisions on what direction they need to
take after their brief stay at the HOH.
After each guest has been with us for about a week and
a half I have a one-onone conversation with each
person concerning how things are going toward finding
employment. I make suggestions and if at that
particular time I know of some place that might be
hiring, I work with them in pursuing those leads. Some
of our guests feel that they simply cannot find work
in our area. When that happens we talk about other
areas that might have more jobs available. We talk
about the possibility of going to Durham Rescue
Mission, which is a long term mission that is devoted
to helping its guests make a life change developing
job skills while they are there. If there is some
other town they would like to relocate to because of
family or employment reasons, we may go online and see
what jobs are available there.
I am sharing this information with you to let you know
that the HOH is all about helping our fellow man by
showing love and dignity. We are devoted to being a
good place for them to be while they are rebuilding
their lives one day at a time.
All of this is to say "THANK YOU-THANK YOU-THANK
YOU!" It is YOU our donors that make the HOH mission
possible. Without the love that you show each and
every month our doors would not remain open! From the
Board of Directors, the staff, myself and all our
past, present, and future guests we want you to know
that God?s love being shown through YOU plays the
biggest role in the future of many people! To God be
the glory!
God Bless,
-Stephen Anderson, Director
HOH President's Message
The calendar page has turned to September and we are
quickly approaching the last days of 2010. Hard as
that may be to believe, I find myself more astounded
by the fact that this organization has come as far as
it has as quickly as it has in the short time that we
have been in existence.
Consider this: on New Year's Day 2009 (not that long
ago!) no one had ever heard or thought of the House of
Hope. This body came together in the early days of
that year when a crisis came to our community and our
area's homeless found themselves without any safe
shelter alternatives. Because of an entrepreneurial
spirit, a creative vision, and a collaborative effort
of scores of dedicated citizens in our city a new
ministry was born. Within ten days of that year's
beginning we were open for guests to come and be
ministered to through the House of Hope.
And come they have! Along with doing all of the
necessary work that goes into creating a non-profit
organization (too much to detail here!), the heart of
the House of Hope's ministry has been focused on
serving the men, women, and children who come to us in
need of care. That is the reason for our existence.
Already this year we have served more guests than we
did in all of 2009 and there are still more months to
go before we bid farewell to 2010. Our staff is daily
meeting the needs of neighbors who have nowhere else
to turn.
We could not carry on this work if it were not for the
hundreds of friends who have embraced us and
underwritten our efforts to make a positive impact on
this community. There is no way that we could function
without the individuals, churches, civic organizations,
and businesses all around this area who regularly write
checks, volunteer time, and give freely to insure that
there is a safe, supportive environment for folks to
find when they enter the House of Hope.
As we look back over all that has happened to bring us
to this point, we as an organization are a thankful
people. As we look forward to all that is in store, we
are a hopeful people. We invite you to join us in the
continuing work of ministering to the homeless in our
area. Plan to visit with us, make a gift to us, and
share your time with us in the weeks that remain of
this year. You are always welcome at the House of Hope!
Grace and peace,
Stephen Cook
President
