After prayerful consideration, the Board of Directors of Loving Grace has determined that coming under the umbrella of God’s Resort, Inc., a Christ-centered transitional housing ministry serving individuals and families in Joplin, is the best path forward for the future of their ministry to continue offering hope, healing, and Christ-centered community to those in need.
In addition to their transitional housing ministry to men and women, God’s Resort currently operates The Well — a communal living environment designed for women who are recovering from trauma and need a safe place to heal and prepare for independent living in their own apartment at God’s Resort. The mission and heart of The Well beautifully aligns with Loving Grace, which has served young women ages 18–24 on Euclid Avenue in Joplin, particularly those who have aged out of the foster care system.
Thanks to the incredible gift of this new property, God’s Resort plans to relocate The Well to Euclid Avenue. This move will allow God’s Resort – The Well to expand their capacity and reach even more women in crisis, including young women transitioning out of foster care and adult women 18 and older who are in early stages of recovery from trauma or substance abuse.
Work to unite the two ministries is already underway. God’s Resort board member, Amy Cook, is serving as the Interim Transition Lead, helping guide this important season of growth and integration. The prayer of both organizations is that The Well continues to grow and thrive as a premier ministry to women in the Joplin area.
Please join both organizations on Tuesday, October 14 at 12:00 pm at 1408 Euclid Avenue for an open house and tour! Refreshments will be provided. More details will be shared during the event regarding this exciting ministry expansion.
