In 2016, the Lord gave our family a vision: that we would live on a larger property and bring first-time pregnant teens / single teen moms into our home and lavish them with love, support, encouragement, training/education in life skills, make sure they're maximizing available resources, and in all things introduce them to the Saving Gospel of relationship with Jesus along the way.
While waiting for that vision of more property to come to fruition we have welcomed and served many teens girls (and a few teen-moms and their toddlers) into our family home in Lacey, WA, through a foster prevention program.
In August of 2024, the Lord began the process of making that vision a reality and moved our family of 8 (plus our bonus foster-toddler!) onto our current home on a 5-acre property in Shelton, WA. We officially incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in October of that year and are now actively working towards preparing to open our home once again.Â
Phase 2 of the vision the Lord gave us is to set up tiny-homes on our property where program-residents will practice living independently while still having our on-site support and assistance.
