Learning how to live life to the fullest in a practical Christian way.
Social Distancing During Covid-19
House of Pearls sure does appreciate all of the support we get from family and friends. We love you all, and we pray you will stay well. Because we love our Pearls, we are cancelling ALL visitors and volunteers until further notice. We are dedicated to serving our Pearls in many, many ways, most importantly in spiritual ways. One of the duties as their leaders is to look after their well being — physical, mental, and as I said, spiritual.
Until this scare of the coronovirus has lifted, we are canceling all visitations, including all volunteers. Please contact our director, Delois Carpenter, with any questions. We would like for those who provide bible studies to still be able to have their time with the ladies. If you can, please consider conducting your usual studies with them via phone, video conferencing, or simply through audio.
Again please, if you have any questions, contact us at 704-324-0028. Directors, Delois or Dana, will be glad to assist you or answer any questions you may have. This will more than likely also affect the next visitation on 3/29/2020. Stay tuned for more information or change in plans.
It Happens One Day at a Time
From the Director January 2020
House of Pearls is nestled on a 100-acre farm in Union County and provides a safe environment for women to heal, restore, and rebuild their lives. We have been helping women transform through a relationship with Jesus Christ for over 10 years now!
Our program is personalized to each individual’s needs, with the length varying from 8 to 12 months. We have licensed therapists meet with the women, and trained mentors who come to teach different life skills, such as banking basics, cooking, and crafts. Pastors give weekly Bible studies as well as marriage counseling.
Addiction is such bondage for the one suffering with the addiction, as well as their family members. You don’t have to do this alone, we are here.
Starting in February, the residents of HOP and their families will begin having monthly support group meetings. Addiction changes the entire family, and we know that the entire family needs healing and support.

We all slip and make mistakes, but the young lady is determined to push through all and finish the race. Pray for her and all our Pearls as we seek God for complete deliverance.
We praise God for the leading of the Holy Spirit. I can’t wait until you can hear this Pearls story!
“The Lord has taken away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you; never again will you fear any harm.”
Zephaniah 3:15 NIV
“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.””
Zephaniah 3:17 NIV
Thank you Amy Ingland Steward for your inspired lesson today with the Pearls. We appreciate you be willing to reach out to offer hope and encouragement to them through social media. Even when we can’t be together in person, we can still encourage each other through technology.
Pearls Boutique will remain closed until further notice. We miss our community and continue to pray.
We are so amazed at the transformation we have seen in this Pearl. Welcome our House Manager Crystal to our team!
Crystal has been a part of HOP over 6 months, and has many wonderful qualities and experiences that God will use to further grow this Ministry.
Another graduate from House of Pearls and her husband who graduated from Ground 40, are examples of God’s Amazing Grace.
Brittney Brown and Brandon Brown persevered, and today are happy in their new home with their precious children.
Disciples making disciples, they are hosting a couples Bible study in their home featuring this great book by Francis and Lisa Chan.
Having a great support system, putting the Lord first and keeping their focus on the One who transformed their lives, family, and their marriage, they are certain to thrive, and to be great influences in the lives of their children and those around them.
Glory to God!

Love watching the Pearls share what inspires them in their studies.
Connie is all packed and headed to her new home. We will miss you but we are so happy for you. Remember all you learned and call if you need us!
Shellee Comer still connecting with the Pearls this morning. We love you Shellee.
Connie will leave House of Pearls tomorrow to start her new life. To say she was broken when she came to us last year is an understatement. The first picture was her intake picture. She had just gotten out of detox, was puffy from nearly drinking herself to death. She wanted to run from HOP and God her first weekend there and had even though she would take her chances and walk home, wherever that was. But God!
Today (picture on right) she has learned the most important lesson for her well being and her heart transformation. She learned to forgive. She already knew God, but she didn’t seek Him anymore. Today God is center of her life.
Tomorrow she moves into her apartment, furnished by friends she has made while being at HOP. She has an incredible job that is working with their staff through this virus scare. She has her own car. But most importantly, she has God.
Connie, we love you. We are so thankful for the transformation you have allowed the Lord to make in your life. Thank you for pouring back into the lives of others at HOP while you were the Night and weekend manager the past 4 months.
You are a Pearl. And we are your family always. May God continue to bless you as you continue to serve Him.
