For over 20 years, we’ve been in the ministry, working with one person (or one family) at a time, to restore…

Broken Lives

So many people are broken and hurting. Their life – and future – seems hopeless; like there’s no way out; like no matter how hard they try to improve their situation, or how hard they work, there is no money or no real solution to the mountain of bills they can’t pay. We’re in an economic situation that’s a nightmare. Good, hard-working people have exhausted all their resources. Many of them are now homeless — or on the verge of it. Families who once had homes and jobs and vehicles, are now sleeping in boxes on the street, or are standing in lines at soup kitchens, and being turned away from homeless shelters which are filled to the brim. Some of them are having to move in with family or friends; others aren’t as lucky. In the morning, it could be me or you. In fact, it has been our family. You can read more about us here.

If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food. And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? –  James 2:15-16

We have fed numerous people and families — both in body, and in soul. Highways and Byways Ministries has been involved in the various stages of jail ministry. We’ve counseled, ministered to, and helped people financially before they’ve gone to jail or prison. We’ve also ministered to many who are already in jail. And we’ve been a support system once they’ve been released and are trying to rebuild their lives.

Highways and Byways Ministries has helped people who are:

• homeless
• domestic violence victims
• the homebound/shut-ins
• people with loved ones in the hospital
• burnout victims
• people who’ve lost their jobs
• the depressed
• the suicidal
• prostitutes
• nursing home residents
• broken marriages
• broken families
• runaways
• alcoholics
• drug addicts
• widows
• divorced
• single parents
• those grieving from death of a loved one
• and many more

We’re on a mission — a home mission

Many are called to foreign missions. God has called us to the endless needs that are right here in our country, in our own town (and surrounding area).

Momma’s Houses

People of all ages and walks of life call me momma – and always have. My daughter is a survivor of domestic violence. It took a lot of praying, fasting, and a merciful God to bring her out alive. As her dad and me helped her in every way possible, I wondered what do people do who get into bad situations like my daughter did, but don’t have a momma to fight for ‘em and bring them through.

The Lord spoke to me: YOU are their momma.

For years, I’ve dreamed of opening Momma’s houses, but due to being a caretaker to many, I wasn’t able to. Now, the time has come. Momma’s Houses will become more than a dream; they will become a reality.

We’re trying to secure funds for the first facility so we can help even more people than we already do, and have a place to feed and house those in need, provide clothes, and assist them however we can. This facility will be a true sanctuary for hurting, broken lives. Momma’s Houses be will more than just buildings, they’ll truly be HOME.

Momma’s Houses website coming soon!

Above all, not only do we need to pray for our Nation, for our children, and that God will equip more of us to effectively help hurting people, we need to dig deep and search our hearts and help them as much as we can — now. Helping people isn’t just about the holidays, or feeding the homeless one meal. There are simply too many people in desperate need of help. And the needs are more than what our small family ministry can accommodate. It’s time for us to work together. It breaks our hearts to see people without. Help us help them….

³⁴Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

³⁵For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

³⁶Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

³⁷Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

³⁸When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

³⁹Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

⁴⁰And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.—Matthew 25:34-40
