Most organizations that help single moms don't start their story with "Two bald guys walk into a restaurant...", but ours does.  Founder, Mike Hentges, was greatly involved in pro-life activities including the March for Life in Washington D.C.  On the bus ride home from that event in 2003, he felt God giving him a very important question to answer.  If the law were changed today and abortion was illegal, how many women would need help bringing their child into the world?  As the law stands today, how many women need our help now? Mike knew his perspective, and his involvement, in this mission were forever changed.  Over the next few years these questions lingered on his heart.  In 2006, Mike went on the same bus ride and the idea developed into having a House where women could go to get their family on the right track after giving birth.  Finally in 2009, God's call to do something was undeniable.  Mike confided in his friend, Steve Smith, during a lunch prayer meeting and Steve responded with, "What are we waiting for, let's go!"  For the next year, the two men began contacting local agencies to offer whatever support filled a gap in services.  They did everything from fill propane tanks to mentoring.  The vision became a reality when the House in Jefferson City opened in 2012, Columbia in 2014 and Rolla in 2016.  Due to the transfer of one of our original staff members, a house will open in Concord, CA in 2017.  As the organization has grown, there is no doubt that God's hand has guided it.  We are grateful for being trusted with this mission and honored to help many families in the future.
