“The beauty of acceleration…”
The mission of the house of plight is to provide a stable, healthy environment for single mothers with children who are aging out of foster care. We desire to see women grow, mature, and excel physically, socially, academically and spiritually. The House of Plight maintains that single mothers and their children can succeed from various hardships of life through accountability and encouragement, life skill training, and love based on the premise of family. We desire to teach women and prepare them for the many stages that life brings.
In the book of 1 Kings 17:10-15, it tells the story of a widow and her son whom had a terrible plight, there was a drought in the land which brought about much famine. At that time, God used the prophet Elijah to ask the mother for their last meal as an act of faith, and in faith the widow offered her last meal. Consequently, God promised that they would have food for the duration of the famine. In comparison, single mothers and their children are often left with no legal means to attain provision due to the current recession and decline of employment. Our commitment is to be as the prophet Elijah and give hope to broken mothers and accelerate them to new dimensions. As their standard of living improves, they will see God’s love for them and understand His promises. Our hope is for single mothers to see their “plight” develop into a betrothal.
