Jackie's House has gone through many changes and transformations. After its initial clean-up/clean-out, Steve and Lorie Clark moved in, hoping to help in the establishment of the home for women. But before that happened, circumstances occured that made it difficult for them to continue to live there, and they moved out. Judy Kennedy was then the next resident for a season, until she had to move out due to personal health concerns. After she left, a complete inside renovation was undertaken, which is just now being finalized. The official certificate of occupancy hopefully will be obtained by May, 2008, (We just received our certificate of temporary occupancy this past Sunday, 3/23/08!) with the strong possibility of having the first residents by August of 2008. (Possibly by 7/01/08!). As of 7/13/08, we will be opening 8/18/08! Yeah! Currently, full time and part time staff are being considered. (We have hired a full time house manager and another full time help.) Also, means to finance the staff wages and the program are being explored, including grants, direct funding by outside organizations, and continued support by individuals and companies. We have already been turning down requests to house women in need, simply because we are not ready to open. With the bed count at 7 total, it would appear we will be realizing full occupancy the majority of the time. Part of what we will be doing on this page is sharing testimonies of faith to give glory to the Lord concerning all phases of the house, that is, testimonies from residents, from staff, from donors, from volunteers, from Pastors, from other churches, etc. If you have testimonies of this sort, please send an email, and we will put them onto this page. Thanks for your generosity and support. Be blessed.
