Place of Promise in 3 Minutes

We were recently invited to an outdoor worship service by a local church partner. They asked us to introduce Place of Promise in 3 minutes. All of the Residents helped!

Mentoring

For every Resident, the most vital part of healing is relational healing and building trust. A mentor, someone who can come alongside and walk with them, can have a tremendous impact in this process!

Healing on the Inside

Donnie began experimenting with drugs at a young age and soon “picked up the glass”. Crack cocaine changed his life. Multiple drug treatment programs did not work, including his first two times at Place of Promise. Now, at Place of Promise for the third time, Donnie is experiencing God’s powerful, transforming love in his own life.

The Obstacle Course

Life for all us can seem like running an obstacle course. For the Residents of Place of Promise, it is a really, really tough course. Addictions, trauma, dysfunction, incarceration, homelessness — this is what they know. Meet Eddie, who just came to Place of Promise after 42 years in prison, as he shares about his “obstacle course” and how Place of Promise is there to help him.

Summer Kids of Promise Off to a Great Start!

It’s such a fun time at Place of Promise! We just started our 6-week in-person summer Kids of Promise program and the joy and laughter of children fill the air! They are so excited to return and have invited their friends and family to come!

We are so excited to be offering Kids of Promise this summer! There will be lots of food, fun, games, crafts, and learning about Jesus!

Growing Up at Place of Promise

An amazing story started 18 years ago when a young mother and her children, including a 5-month old baby girl, arrived at Place of Promise. That little girl, now 18, shares her story.

“Kids of Promise is back!”

We were really excited to get started, but we never could have imagined how absolutely delighted the kids and teens would be!

“Slowly but surely, new birth happens, healing begins, their relationship with God grows, faith overpowers fear, and they begin to live new lives in Christ!”

The first few weeks at Place of Promise, residents are usually struggling with rationalization, justification, and minimization. But as trust gets stronger, so do the residents. Read about Cara’s first few weeks at Place of Promise!
