On Saturday, August 5th, the Mission hosted its annual Women of Hope Alumni event. This annual event was started by Jan Dixey, a 2009 graduate, and former Mission employee, and has continued to grow with each passing year. Women who have graduated from the Mission’s Life Recovery Program come from all over the country to reconnect, encourage, and celebrate. Senior Director of Operations, Billy Eldridge, and his kitchen team prepared an elaborate meal for the event. Bible teacher and former Mission employee, Susan Hill, shared a message of encouragement. This was followed by testimonies from Life Recovery Program graduates: Polly Johnson, Jill Neely, and Vicki Berry. A few of our current Life Recovery Program women shared an incredible interpretive dance to the song, He Still Loves Me. 
The night was full of fellowship, celebration, and worship to God for all of the hope He has given to women transformed by our Life Recovery Program.
