Hope for the Homeless 2025
Rewriting Their Story
Their story had an ending. Until Gospel Village... That's where the rewriting of their stories begins!
About This Event
As our year has progressed, many residents open up about their time living homeless and the change that has occured since joining the community of Gospel Village.
Many times, the contrast between their past experience and the new life they live brings deep gratitude expressed with many emotions. We all have a story. Our lives have unfolded through our own choices or the choices of others that influenced us, shaping the story that became the blueprint of our journey.
Our residents' stories had a trajectory. One that placed them homeless, unsheltered and without any meaningful relationships in their lives.
But then, Gospel Village...
The intersection of Gospel Village and the residents who live in our community is the catalyst for change. Not just change in emotional stability, an address to receive basic mail, a shower to bathe with hot water and the dignity of privacy, a kitchen to prepare a meal... but changing their story from being outcast, rejected and dispondent to a representative testimony of what God has done and is continuing to do in their lives.
In Romans 12:2, Paul tells us that we are transformed by the "renewing of our mind" …transformed from a previous state to a new state of being.
The first change required that leads to transformation is the securing of a safe and stable housing unit. A close second to that requirement is a faith-filled, God-centered community living out biblical principles that we embrace as a Christian community.
When these two elements are exhibited, our residents experience transformation.
