I observed and found out that Hope Reins operated in the spirit of excellence and truly had a heart for each and every young person they touched during their sessions. I was able to connect and strategize with Believers who truly understand ‘Kingdom Ministry’. “I can truly say that I came to learn about Hope Reins through a Divine Connection.”Ī consultant for Hope Reins invited me to become a part of their Diversity Task Force in 2021. It’s a joy to set the stage at the ranch and at our events where our volunteers and donors feel like we have been waiting just for them! As the healing of Jesus seeps into us, He transforms our areas of pain into opportunities to relate to others and showcase the power of the Gospel.Īt Hope Reins, I am privileged to maintain the character and integrity of our organizational culture. I love that we see proof of that every day at Hope Reins. As he’s shown me, I see him show others that there is nothing outside of God’s power to redeem and nothing is wasted in the kingdom of God. Now, He allows me to tell others of His great healing love. I am humbled that the Lord redeemed me and offered me True Hope and Real Healing. Years later, I continue to be humbled by the opportunity to offer the same hope that I have been given and it continues to be the best “yes” ever! Upon finishing the book, my heart was so overjoyed! I knew this is where I was meant to be. This showcase happens weekly during sessions but, honestly, it takes place every time the gate is open to volunteers, donors and community partners.īack to when Hope Reins was only a dream, my precious friend, Kim, asked me to read a book called “Hope Rising” and to pray about participating in a similar ministry here in Raleigh. While I am passionate about everything out at Hope Reins, my favorite moments happen when I step back as the Lord showcases His healing power and hope-giving love. Hope Reins combines everything that I love: the redemptive power of the Gospel, family, community, horses and the outdoors. “I love seeing the redemptive work of the Lord every single day at the Ranch.” It’s an easy thing for people to talk about but it’s another thing to see it and experience. Hope Reins has become a community of Grace that extends to the Triangle, volunteers, families and me, personally. We want to help more people, help more kids and more than anything else glorify the Lord! As the community at Hope Reins has grown I have observed, you can truly come as you are and Jesus will meet you where you are, and he will heal you. The founding hope for Hope Reins of Raleigh is Inspire True Hope and Real Healing. This young desire has been nurtured into fruition at Hope Reins. We shared a passion for horses but my dad always pushed me to show, and all I ever wanted to do was be in the stall, take care of my horse and ride… I always wanted the relationship with my horse. My childhood was void of the unconditional love of a father and developed a performance-based mentality to earn my father’s love. My father was successful in all his business endeavors but an alcoholic at home. God always works in us in ways that apply to us and what I discovered with the growth of Hope Reins was true personal healing and unconditional love from a loving Father. When I was a child, I didn’t have a Hope Reins or Jesus, but I did have a horse where I continually found comfort and safety. I didn’t even realize I was a session kid until we got further along in ministry. “My intention was to help kids but now Hope Reins has become so much more than that – it has become a community of healing – a safe place for people to come and truly be who they are.”
