Pastor Tim Jackson of Magnolia Avenue United Methodist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, is celebrating the opening of Hope House, a new ministry that has converted the church’s parsonage into a facility that will house and support 10 women ages 18 to 24 who are transitioning out of foster care.
This project is particularly close to Jackson’s heart, as he was unhoused at various points throughout his childhood and teen years.“I failed the first grade because I was homeless,” Jackson told WVLT. “I failed the fourth grade because I was homeless.” More Here
Psalm 24:3-5 (NKJV)
“Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, [w]ho has not lifted up his soul to an idol, [n]or sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, [a]nd righteousness from the God of his salvation.”
