A Ministry Home in the French Countryside
Hope on a Hill
A place of rest, refuge, and renewal for missionaries serving around the world.
In partnership with Restored & Renewed Ministry
The House
A stone home with soft light and steady walls.
Tucked into a small French village beside Restored & Renewed Ministry, this home will become an extension of the care already happening there — opening more space for those who have given so much.
- Overflow housing for missionaries on retreat
- A quiet room for counseling and one-on-one care
- Terrace, orchard, and garden walking paths
- Sustained between stays as a hospitable Airbnb

Those who carry hope to others need somewhere to lay it down.

Our start-up costs are only $200,000.

Trained, confidential support for those serving in hard places.
Restoration & Rest
Sabbath spaces for body, mind, and spirit to recover.

Together, we can
Help open the doors
Every gift brings Hope on a Hill closer to home.
A home made possible by many open hands and generous hearts.
Our goal is $200,000.
That’s a big number. But no one person has to carry it.
Some will give $25. Some will give $250. Some may give $2,500 or $25,000. Every gift moves us closer to opening these doors and creating a place where missionaries can rest, heal, receive care, and return to their work renewed.

Years later, I returned—not broken this time, but called. The need is greater than the space. There is a house next door. And we believe God is asking His people to help open its doors.

Help us open the door.
Somewhere tonight, a missionary is whispering that they cannot keep going. Your gift becomes the doorway, the table, the quiet morning that meets them on the other side of breaking.
