This is my second time at the Mission’s Hope for Women program. The first time was in 2019. Through this program, I gained a home, my kids, my first job, and nearly three years clean. After leaving the program, I did not keep up with the practices that kept me clean - I stopped going to church, meetings, and Bible study. I did not reach out, and in the end, I lost everything. I feared what the leaders would think of me, from having been a co-worker to now a client. However, I was welcomed with open arms, and when others found out, they said, “Welcome home.”

Ephesians 2:8-10

“For by Grace you have been saved, through faith– and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not from works so no one may boast. For we are his handiwork created in Christ Jesus; for the good works that God has prepared in advance that we should do.”
