A calling…
First, there is a calling. It was a Sunday like most Sundays. I arrived home and started lunch. Then I heard it as clearly as if God was standing beside me. I heard that I was to open the building that I own to women who were pregnant, had no support system and were trapped in a life of poverty. This building was originally a boarding house and apparently, God was ready to take the building back to its roots.

I was rocked to the core. I phoned my pastor’s wife to share my experience. She said we should begin to pray about this. In a matter of weeks, God miraculously brought a young woman, Stephanie Womack, who began to speak about the help that these women needed. Not just temporary help but long term solutions to break the chains of a life spent just trying to survive. Stephanie is now our director. In addition, a donor wrote a check for $50,000 for us to launch this new ministry. God was at work and we had to join Him!
