We are almost through our 10th Anniversary year. The Lord continues bless and grow this ministry through the generosity of so many. In February we shared that we did not receive almost $250,000 in grant funding for 2024. This loss of funding in addition to the loss of our rental lease for Liberty House caused our Board of Directors to prayerfully evaluate if we should keep Liberty House open. After a couple months of discussion and prayer, the Board decided to step out in faith and move forward to keep Liberty Open. Within a couple weeks, a generous donor began searching for a home to purchase for H4A to rent and God providing record AZ Tax Credit giving. In August, Liberty House reopened and within 2 weeks, two moms and four children are finding refuge and a safe place to rebuild their lives.

The LORD is a refuge for the persecuted, a refuge in times of trouble.

Progress Report
New Church Onboarding
In an effort to better prepare and support churches, we are creating a new church onboarding process including, additional training.
New 8 part curriculum series
As we grow, we are able to produce more of our own material which ensures the integrity of our mission as well as a faithful proclamation of the gospel. The outline is written and we preparing to film. We hope to release this discipleship curriculum early 2025. Four pastors from three churches are involved in this project and we are so thankful for these men and their heart to reach to the lost with the hope of the gospel.
