December 20th - Sarah Doak
Two of our youth, who are siblings, were placed in the foster care system as children, and were eventually split up and placed into different foster homes. After they each aged out of the system, both were still living in Indianapolis and trying to navigate their new lives as independent adults. Neither of them had spoken in years, until they both made the decision to come to Outreach, on the same day, at the same time, for the first time. It was a beautiful moment of reunification that truly only could have been God's timing.
The strength and movement of the Holy Spirit is very evident at Outreach, and staff and volunteers share Christ's love with each other and our young people so beautifully that it is hard to not feel hopeful in the program center.
Sarah first got involved with Outreach in 2014 as a volunteer, and in her time as a coach, she makes sure our youth know they are seen, heard, known, and loved. Through this, she has helped these young people find HOPE. Today, you can give the gift of HOPE to vulnerable youth and young adults by becoming a monthly Faith, Hope, or Love partner. Give a one-time gift, and your donation will have double the impact as a donor is matching all one-time gifts up to $100,000! We could not do this work without your continued support. Thank you for giving the gift of HOPE! outreachindiana.org/25yearsofhope
Scripture:
For in this HOPE we were saved. But HOPE that is seen is no HOPE at all. Who HOPES for what they already have? Romans 8:24 NIV
