Through the years, consistently, we have seen compassion for young people and passion for their healing, John and Val's driving force.  With much of their personal time and finances sacrificed, they have embraced these young people, as if they were their very own.  The heartbeat of this couple is their focus on seeing them functioning in a healthy, productive and mature manner.  John and Val have always kept Christ at the center of their ministry, with no compromise! 

The fruit of this labor of love we have witnessed with our own eyes, as it has been manifesting in the very lives of many of the young people we have had the privilege to serve and meet as the result of their unselfish investment. We are honored to continue to work along side this wonderful couple, serving God, our cities, families and all that come to the S.W. Michigan House of Hope. We give to this ministry already financially, and we are part of the intercessory team, and hope to work with family mediation once the property is purchased and the ministry is operating. We will be traveling to Orlando with them in August for Acts 2 training.
