The Hope of a New Beginning


Fresh off the celebration of Christmas, we are reflecting on the reason for the season – honoring the birth of Christ.

Mary gave birth to her first born, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.

By definition, baby Jesus and his family were homeless.

Jesus’ need for safe, temporary housing was met in the form of a stable. And despite his humble beginnings, Jesus was the King of Kings, the Son of God…the Savior of the world.

God had a plan for Jesus’ life.

God also has a plan for each woman and child who will find safe, temporary shelter at Becky’s Place in Bedford, IN. Being homeless, in need of help and hope, does not negate the fact that these individuals are God’s children whom He loves very much. Becky’s Place offers the hope of a new beginning and we have the joyous opportunity to serve these women and children by offering a homelike environment as they work toward a life of self-sufficiency. Through their experience at Becky’s Place, women and children are reminded of their worth and the difference they can make in the world.

If you would like to learn more about how you can become involved with Becky’s Place, please call 812.275.5773.
