Here are just a few things the leaders in our community are saying about the impact Hope Homes of the Ozarks Adult & Teen Challenge is having.

“Thank you Hope Homes of the Ozarks for the community transformation you are bringing to the Springfield Metro
area... it is noticeable. God is using this ministry in powerful ways.”
— Doug Clay - General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God
“I would like to express to you my most sincere gratitude for the Hope Homes of the Ozarks for work on addiction and recovery. You have done a superb job serving the most vulnerable members of our community.”
— Ken McClure - City of Springfield Mayor
“As a former prosecutor, and now criminal defense attorney, I make it a point to have a pulse on the programs in the recovery community. Over the past three years, I have seen Hope Homes of the Ozarks to start to change the culture of North Springfield and move mountains for individuals committed to the Hope Homes Program.”
— Ben McBride
“Undoubtedly, the ministry of Hope Homes of the Ozarks is touching and changing lives and helping make North Springfield, MO a better place to live. With the highest rates of crime, domestic violence, and child abuse/neglect in our city, we know substance abuse is the root cause. I am thankful for the work being done with addicts and abusers by this ministry to turn lives around and lead folks to clean, lawful living. Many, for the first time in their adult lives, have become healthy, employed, and contributing family and community members. Hope Homes of the Ozarks meets people where they are and shows them hope when it seems they have none.”
— Phyllis Ferguson - Mayor Pro Tem - Zone 1 Councilwoman - Springfield, Mo
“The Adult & Teen Challenge program succeeds when all of the government programs have failed.”
— Charles Colson - Founder of Prison Fellowship
“Too many young [people] have already lost their lives, and too many others have suffered serious injury for us to ignore the problems of juvenile alcohol and drug abuse. Programs such as yours [Adult & Teen Challenge] work to change young people’s lives by changing their hearts. I commend you for your work with young men who are addicted to drugs or alcohol.”
— George W. Bush - 43rd President of the United States
“Not only does Teen Challenge help our young people deal with their substance abuse, but is also gives our kids something to live for – a relationship with God, a healthy self-esteem, and a direction in their lives that finally leads somewhere. I sincerely appreciate your efforts to reach and rehabilitate the many young people who have, at present, no hope in life.”
— Ronald Reagan - 40th President of the United States
