Boone's best kept secret is Living Hope Ministries! What a privilege to have the depth of knowledge and passion for the wounded right here in our own community. Local residents travel off the mountain in hopes of finding help and support for life's challenges and turmoil. The answer is found here... in God's Word... delivered passionately and lovingly through His servants John and Annette Padgett. This is where real life happens!

John and another member of his counseling team came along side of me after my husband left our family. God used John to provide comfort and direction for my life. It wasn't an easy mountain to climb in my life; but, my inner healing was a turning point. I can honestly say I am completely healed today. I have returned to college and am working towards my degree which is in clinical counseling, specifically Crisis Intervention. I plan on using my failures, and my healing to give wounded individuals hope and assurance of Christ's love. Thank you John...and Tracy

Living hope Ministry has been a huge blessing to our marriage and our lives as individuals. We began counseling very skeptical and unsure about the future of our marriage. From our first visit we felt God's love through the compassion and patience shown to us by the ministers here. Not only was our marriage saved, but it has blossomed and we have a new understanding as to the magnitutde of God's love and Grace. The work that God has done through this ministry is helping us develop into who He wants us to be. God continutes to bless our lives through the work of this ministry.Anyone who is hurting would find a great place of comfort, and a true picture of God's love, through Living Hope ministry.

I had given up hope on myself, our marriage, and that The Father really loved me. God used Living hope Ministries to help me see the lies that had taken over my life and led me back to the Father who has and is restoring my life and my hope.

Simply Put, Saved our marriage, Period!
