Hope House exists to alleviate physical and spiritual poverty through gospel restoration. Our heartbeat is to see dignity and value restored in a person's life through the power of the gospel. We seek to do this with a person, rather than for a person. We believe that the root of poverty is always deeper than the physical symptoms we see, like addiction, homelessness, and unemployment. The root of poverty lies in broken relationships with others, with ourselves, with creation, and most importantly, with God.
When we walk with a person through the process of restoring his or her relationship with God, we inevitably witness the restoration of relationships with family members; the restoration of that person’s dignity, value, and self-worth; and we are given the opportunity to help them break the cycle of material poverty by overcoming addiction, securing a new job, creating a budget, becoming a better parent, and so much more.
The best proof of this approach that we can offer is the stories of the lives that we have seen transformed by the power of the gospel.
