Grace House
Testimony
After a divorce and falling on hard times, Jamaica found herself homeless. She had a lot of debt, no job, and didn’t know where to turn. After coming to The SafeHouse seeking assistance, she joined Trinity House in November 2015. She took every opportunity seriously, even working for her debtors for free. She eventually landed a job, saved enough money to pay off her debts, and now, Jamaica lives in her own place with her three children. Jamaica never quits and we rejoice in the work God has done in her life.
Jamaica, 2015
History of the Grace House
When we first opened the SafeHouse, we could meet just about every need except for temporary housing for women and children. We prayed about this and joined with Trinity Episcopal Church of Columbus to open Trinity House, a 24-bed facility for disadvantaged women and children. By God’s grace, Fort Benning provided all the furniture SafeHouse would need in advance and McCarley Moving and Storage boxed it and stored it until we were ready to open. God opened the doors for donations of beds, sheets, pillows, blankets, dressers, night stands, love seats, end tables, entertainment centers, student desks with chairs, washers, and dryers, refrigerators, microwaves, stoves/ovens - AMAZING. In 2022 when God blessed SafeHouse Ministries with an additional 104 bed facility for the men, we were able to move the women into our 52 bed shelter known as Grace House and transition Trinity House into apartments for families to keep families together and off the street. Over 750 women and 130 children have stayed at Grace House with over 60% leaving to permanent housing.
