Giving Hope to the HopeLost

Speaking it into existence in the present...The Mo Hope Village is a 45-acre master planned community that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for men and women coming out of chronic homelessness. This transformative residential program exists to love and serve our neighbors who have been living on the streets, while also empowering the surrounding community into a lifestyle of service with the homeless.

We've found the land on which we'll build our Mo Hope Village! Our offer to purchase this beautiful 45 acre property has been accepted!

Try to imagine spending the better part of the last fifteen years sleeping outside...in tents, under the deck of an abandoned house, in a boarded up dank, musty garage; black inside with mold, and under a worn-out tarp draped over two discarded sofas in the woods. The latter is where I met Navy veteran Robert almost five years ago, and in that time, I've known him to sleep in the rest of those places as well.

By the Grace of God, Billy survived a vicious attack one night as he slept alone in a covered entryway to a downtown building. His assailant struck him numerous times in the head with a brick. Billy suffered a severe traumatic brain injury which left him with a slowed speech and difficulty walking.

Billy signed a lease on a room in a house in a quiet neighborhood this afternoon. His 2 year homeless nightmare has ended!

Welcome HOME, Billy!

Thank you Lord!

I met him in December of 2014. He’s the 4th “homeless person” I befriended, just a few weeks after meeting Lisa, and over a year before I started Moments of Hope Outreach. He’s one of my “original 12”, and was one of “my guys” back when I only knew a few dozen living outside. By the Grace of God, and after 11 years on the streets and in the woods, his homeless nightmare finally ended Friday with a signed lease for his own private room in a sober house!

Welcome HOME Rayburn!

When we use the term “budgeted”, we mean this is the minimum amount we expect God to provide through donations and grants, to accomplish what we discern Him calling us to accomplish.

For 2020, we’ve budgeted $297,210; roughly $24,767 each month. That’s a lot of $25, $50, $100 & $1000 donations, and every dollar helps! We’ll gladly spend more to accomplish more, if we receive more.

We are thrilled to announce we will be receiving $20,740 in a grant from Altria Companies Employee Community Fund to help us Reduce Food Instability for the 1,538+ households we currently serve in the City of Richmond and adjoining Henrico County. Granted funds will be used to purchase 45,500 canned goods and 9,100 boxes of pasta to be distributed through our Mo Hope Mobile Pantry at our weekly Saturday Servings community events for the remainder of 2019. Thank you ACECF! #ACECF Altria Group
