CLINTON, AL: God’s House of Hope opened its door on February 20, 2023, a journey that began back in September 2022. The board from Clinton First Baptist contacted them about the property and a church they were interested in donating to this ministry. “They informed us that they had heard of the work we were doing in Middleton Ms, just outside of Tupleo, MS, and thought a facility in Clinton area would be a blessing,” said Nick Coyle, Co-founder/ Executive Director of God’s House of Hope.
“Upon coming and evaluating the property, it was in dire need of repairs,” said the director. We rolled up our sleeves and began to work on the building from the rooftop to the flooring. Painting throughout the building and bathroom(s) renovations were done Trees and overgrown shrubbery were also cut back, outside lighting was installed, and now we are in the process of adding a 1600-square-foot addition to this place thanks to the 60,000 dollars worth of building material was donated free to help with this new addition.
The House of Hope will be a co-ed facility that will house and provide 11 beds for men who apply to this program and 8 beds will be available to females who enter this program. Since its inception, the ministry has had 6 males enroll and currently, 4 of those have remained in the program. There are no female enrollees at this time, due to space, as the staff is using these beds until the new addition is completed that will house at least 5 to 6 staff members.
We are here to help broken people know God, find freedom, discover their purpose, and make a difference for God’s glory. We just don’t empathize with participants in this ministry, every one of the staff is a former abuser of some substance and we know it was the power of God that changed our lives and now, we are here to mentor and encouraged others to give Jesus Christ a chance. For we, know and believe that Jesus Christ is the answer to evangelize, teach, and disciple any person spiritually, physically, vocationally, and psychologically as the Holy Spirit leads and directs.
We don’t house individuals who live in the area of the local facility because it is too easy for them to become distracted and return home. However, we will, after such a person completes the program requirements, help get them enrolled in another of our facilities located in Nettleton, MS, and Kilmichael MS.
God’s House of Hope is a 501(C) (3) faith-based ministry. However, we do not receive any funding from the government on the federal, state, or local levels. All of our funding comes from concerned individuals, businesses, charities, and churches who are sensitive and concerned about the needs of others, and willing to give of their time, talents, substance, and money to help broken people have their hope restored. We are a non-denominational ministry.
TS Police Support League, Inc. recently presented a $5000.00 donation to God's House of Hope to support their rehabilitation ministry.
