- How did you get connected to The HOPE Center?
I had been looking for a new job for about a year after the feeling the need to break away from my father’s construction company. Most of my searching had been on Indeed.com, and the job at The HOPE Center was sent as a suggestion. I applied, and within a couple of hours I got a reply that I was being considered.
- How have you seen God work through this ministry?
After spending 15 years mentoring at Hopequest Ministries, God gave me my heart’s desire in this role as Men’s Services Coordinator. I am seeing God bring men every week who need help and guidance. I have seen men turning to God with their lives. I have seen men choose life when abortion was considered. Mostly, I am seeing God’s hand on my life as I am growing into His plan for me.

Getting to go to the Care Net Conference. That was a week where I felt God restoring my ability to dream about what could be in ministry; my ministry. It was also like God saying “look how I’ve restored you”.
