Summer is anything but a break here in the VOH house this month! We are busy, busy! \u00a0There are many exciting things happening that we want you to be aware of!\u00a0 New ministry opportunities are on the horizon, the Vision of Hope Homecoming weekend starts tomorrow, and we have just celebrated the graduation of three residents from our program!<\/p>\n
This past Friday Vision of Hope staff, residents past and present, family, and friends all gathered together to celebrate and recall God\u2019s faithful redemption of three very special lives – Abby MacArthur, Kate Shepherd, and Sarah Landolt.\u00a0 The evening was spent hearing testimonies from each of the ladies, along with their counselors, about the work that God has done in their lives.\u00a0 It was a touching time of worship and prayer dedicating these young ladies to serve and honor the Lord, as they go forth from Vision of Hope, as shining examples and witnesses of His faithfulness!\u00a0 What an exciting and encouraging evening.<\/p>\n
After the graduation ceremony, friends and family had refreshments and of course CAKE at the Vision of Hope home, and a chance to fellowship together in honor of the grads.\u00a0 Following this, the current residents and the graduates have their ritual \u201cFireside Chat\u201d, lead by Director Jocelyn Wallace.\u00a0 It is a very sweet time where the graduates are able to share from their experiences to encourage and challenge the current girls in the program.\u00a0 There is always laughters as they reflect upon funny memories, tears as they recount their challenges and struggles, and hope as they see how miraculously God has changed them.\u00a0 Ask any resident and they will tell you that the Fireside Chat is a highly cherished time of processing and encouragement, as they look to their own future graduations from the program.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to Abby, Kate, and Sarah! We are so excited to see how God uses you in the future, for His glory and honor!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
