Sarah – Hillcrest Hope Resident

Journey Church recently had the honor of providing the food for the 2016 Hillcrest Hope Housing Christmas party. Over 50 people attended. All the clients being housed at the Liberty and Avondale locations were invited along with the actual employees of Hillcrest Hope.

Journey partnered along with Good Shepherd KC Church. They provided the location, games and prizes. Journey Church provided the food. It was good to meet and talk with the clients that are benefitting from the program. We also got to meet our new client, Sarah, who literally just moved in to the Journey Church sponsored apartment.

I picked a random table to sit at and started talking to the three people that were sitting there. The Holy Spirit knew I needed to talk to people who have succeeded at the program. The two gentlemen are in graduate housing and the young lady at the table is set to graduate in two weeks.

It was so nice to hear how Hillcrest Hope had changed their lives. How the skills that they learned will serve them forever. How thankful they were for the opportunity to stand up on their own.

Do you want to serve with Hillcrest Hope ministries? There are always ways that you can be connected. Let’s talk. Send me an email at julia.avila05@gmail.com
