Some periods of our life God's presence is undeniable while other times God seems to have left us. God placed the mission of providing good bible preaching old time gospel messages onto Brent Rouer's heart. His wife Stacy's connection with youth social problems was placed on her heart. Together, they founded Beginning of Hope Ministry in April 2019. They had a vision of of providing support to families struggling. A parent being deployed, a divorce, homeless, various forms of abuse or other life events can cause deep trauma. These emotions can be difficult to release and unwanted behaviors. Beginning of Hope Ministries provides a place for families to escape. In September 2019, God provided the perfect place for His work to be done. A homestead placed on 30 acres of land. A place where horses are used to help release the trauma, experience the heart of farming and have the needed support. Current Services Provided:
