Meet Our Adopted Mississippi Family

Meet Kellie and Gable Estis of Smithville, Mississippi.  This is the family we adopted from Smithville, Mississippi, that lost both parents and destroyed their home.

Kellie and her son Gable were living with and taking care of her aging and ailing parents.

Hope House is a vibrant and active ministry to the children and youth of the Pascagoula and surrounding areas of Jackson County. We are a unique ministry and work to show the love of Jesus Christ to the hurting, needy and hopeless children in our community. Under the leadership of Gary & Teresa Pierce, Hope House operates solely as an independent, ministry with over 30 years of experience in Children and Bus Ministry. We operate with the help and assistance provided by concerned churches, businesses, and individuals through gifts of offerings, time, and most importantly, prayer.

Warmest greetings to you from Kenya!

John and Beth Muehleisen above Yes, we returned to Kenya a month ago.  Our arrival seems to have coincided with the beginning of the rains for which everyone is grateful since it was extremely dry, and the Kenyans are interpreting the rain as a sign of God's blessing.

You are probably wondering how we found things here since Kenya was in the news for several weeks back in January and February due to post-election violence. Things have calmed down considerably, and we have seen little outward damage of all that happened here in Nairobi. However, the Kenyans themselves have been traumatized, and we hear and feel their grief as we listen to their stories.
