Grand Homes Celebration

FATE, TX – Surprises abound when a family purchases a home that has been dedicated as a Homes for HOPE project. On January 15th, one family experienced this first-hand when they arrived to find their new home full of people celebrating the large donation made possible by a collective effort from Grand Homes and the trade partners who worked on their home.
“The first thing we heard when we walked in was someone praying over our house!” the homeowners remarked. And according to founder Stephen Brooks, the blessings don’t end there. “Something incredible always happens in a Homes for HOPE house,” says Brooks.
While the guests feasted on barbecue, Brooks and Western U.S. Homes for HOPE representative Kent Rice shared about how lives are impacted through the microfinancing and biblically-based training of HOPE International.
After the donation was presented, the participating trades received plaques commemorating their involvement, which included reduced material cost, donated product and volunteer labor. For some, it was the eleventh time they had answered Grand Homes’ call.
“No one is more passionate about our ministry than the team at Grand Homes,” says Rice.
“But it was also amazing to see so many trades not just participating, but so excited to help us in our fight against global poverty!”
Homes for HOPE is continually grateful for builders like Grand Homes who step up and who also encourage others to follow suit.
One could truthfully say given the locale that it was Fate that brought us together!
