OUTPOURING OF LOVE

There is not much that makes our Hope at Home heart more happy than to be a part of Father God's sustaining and powerful love being poured out on His children. 

That same healing and rescuing love that you and I are so aware of for our children is the love that Father God has for each one of us mothers and fathers--His sons and daughters.

Enjoy these testimonies of our Faithful Father from Hope at Home 2013.


Thank you! It was truly such a blessed weekend. I know it was God's appointment for this time in our lives. Going into it, I knew it would be good, but I had no idea the depth of encouragement and blessing we would receive. May the Lord return to you in multitude of favor for all that you poured out. God bless you and all those who gave so much.

So very thankful to have been able to attend this powerful, life changing conference! We felt God's healing and hope filled presence from the moment we walked in the doors and we have returned home with our "buckets" FULL!  Thank you so much for giving of your time and gifts to pour into those that so needed a time set apart for encouragement and equipping!

I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the hard work you did in organizing the Hope at Home Conference.  It was amazing!   Even more than that, thank you so much for working it out so that we could get a partial scholarship.  That helped so much and we are deeply grateful.  We look forward to learning more from the ministry and Hope at Home. You all are doing wonderful things and we are so excited to know more about you vision/mission.  Thank you!

Thank you so much for all your help!  You and Hope at Home are a Godsend!

Just wanted to thank you and the Hope at Home team for a wonderful conference. We sincerely appreciated all of the invaluable teaching and fellowship. Everything was so special and I know it will make a difference in our home!

God brought us there.  If we hadn't heard Greg's talk Friday, I don't know how much more we could have taken in our current case.  We were completely fried.
God used you all to help us persevere a while longer.  We love our baby dearly and are praying for that audacious answer that she will be our forever daughter.

I’m really glad we got to come to the conference. It was awesome.  I felt so inspired and convicted about many things.  The set-up was great, with the “stations” out front.  All around, a fantastic job.Thank you for your amazing ministry to adopted children and their families. And we are all His adopted children. The conference was more than we could have ever hoped. It has helped to begin to reorient what has been tilted in our family's world. Love and Thanks and Blessings !

I have definitely been refreshed and recharged and encouraged. Best seminar for me yet! Thank you!

We were so touched this weekend by the power of the Holy Spirit and the loving hands and hearts of saints that gave of themselves to teach and encourage. What a wonderful weekend it was! It was MORE than worth the trip, MORE than worth the effort made to get there, MORE than we could have hoped to come away with. The treasures were laid out - and we received them. We are deeply humbled and grateful to participate. We came home refreshed and ready to keep making steps with a richer understanding that we have been raised and fed so that we may raise and feed. Praise the Lord for His goodness and kindness.

We were in a very dry place when we arrived. We are leaving filled up and very thankful.

This has been very encouraging. We are not alone!

We were here one year ago and the things we heard and learned last year stuck with us this entire year and the blessings it has shown our family are amazing. 

I came here with an empty, bone dry bucket and very little emotional strength. I am leaving here encouraged, refreshed and renewed.

The Lord encouraged me to allow him to parent me so I can better parent my children.

God reiterated so many things in my heart. I am beloved. I’m a child of God. As it pertains to ministry, He placed undeniable signs and connections in my path that confirmed I am moving in the right direction.

He told me he was proud of me an that he loved me. To sing boldly and dance. I really needed to hear those things and it truly ministered to my heart.

After journaling my  wife and I went to dinner and compared what we had written. Both of us had received a word speaking of our intrinsic value and beauty in the eyes of God Both of us receiving this and the way that we received intermeshed was very affirming. 

HOPE AT HOME 2013, SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKERS

from Beth:

We have a very special guest who has committed to join us for this year's Hope at Home gathering. We've been in communication with him all year, and even enjoyed some face-to-face meetings with him and our team. We are so excited! You are not going to want to miss this! His heart for adoptive, foster and waiting mothers and fathers is the driving force behind all that we do at Hope at Home. We've heard what he has to say about us parents and our families--his words never fail to direct, strengthen, encourage and help parents in their adoption and fostering stories. He's asked us if it is alright if He brings his son along, as well as his friend, who is well-known all over the world for his work amongst believers. That was an easy decision for our team-- YES! 
These guys are a amazing together. It has been inspiring for our Hope at Home team to watch how they work together as a unit. There is such a refreshing and powerful oneness in all that they do. 

So let me tell you a bit about our main speaker's friend first. As the planners of the event, we love that he comes ahead of time to prepare the way and then stays afterwards to finish the work he started. He's been known to actually come into your home and work alongside you as you parent your children. His help and wisdom is priceless. There have been times where he has contacted us about a matter regarding our adoptions or parenting, and he has always been spot-on! If you haven't already met him at other events, you are going to love him! 

And the son... oh my! Seriously, we've never met a kinder person. He is so generous. So gracious. If you needed a shirt, he'd give you the one on his back. He wouldn't hesitate to lay down his life for a friend. It's strange to say, but in our experience he seems to always have the right solution to our parenting concerns, and whenever he speaks it's like this unexplainable peace comes over those who listen. He's never arrogant about it, as some speakers might be, but he really does seem to have the answer to everything; it's like he IS the answer.

And then there's the dad, our main speaker... well, like I said, you seriously do not want to miss this. When he's come to other events we've been to he seems to be so happy; we've heard it said of him that he is always in a good mood. And it blesses us greatly that he seems to be genuinely excited to bring in other speakers to partner with him. He's already been communicating to our team about who amongst us he wants to speak alongside him. It's super-humbling for all of us, and a bit scary for some, but it's so hard to say "no" to him once you've gotten to know him. It's like he knows how it's all going to turn out and is ALWAYS assuring us that he'll be right there to cover any blunders on our part. 

If that is not enough, wait til you hear this--they've all three agreed to meet with each one of you personally. I know, crazy right?! How could that even be possible? If I hadn't seen it before at our previous Hope at Home events, I would be doubtful myself. But sure enough, somehow he pulls it off. Our suggestion to you is to plan on meeting with all three; you may have some questions or areas of interest you want to address with each one. Some of us have learned how wonderful it is just to hang out and enjoy the privilege of having one-on-one time with speakers of this caliber. 

Oh yes, one more thing... they are trained in healing of all sorts, both physical and emotional, so if you have a healing need be sure to look for them. They've been training some of our folks here at Northlands to be physician's assistants over the past few years, so we are pretty excited to be able to participate. It is so touching that all three seem to care so very deeply about each and every one of our children-- adopted, biological and foster. It's almost like they love them more than we, their parents, do. Really! I can't explain it, I'm just telling it like it is.

This is all to say--we are so filled with hope for Hope at Home 2013! And our hearts are full with anticipation to spend September 27-28 with you here in Atlanta, Georgia, along with our awesome God--Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
