CEDAR CREEK LAKE–The women of Grace House celebrated their journey during the fourteenth annual Grace House banquet which was held at the Kaufman Civic Center April 12. 
During their time at Grace House, the women receive counseling, love, support, a safe living environment and are given the opportunity to grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ. 
Graduates and alumni of the program, participated in cardboard ministry, displaying the trials and feelings they work to overcome while participating at Grace House. 
Among these were addiction, drug dealer, emptiness, IV user, lying and feeling broken or forgotten. Graduates provided testimony on how Grace House and its ministry served to help them, provide comfort and change their lives. 
Everything that happens at Grace House is completely free to the ladies and it is only through donations and the Lord that all needs are met. It takes a lot to provide a safe, encouraging and sustaining place for these women to get a new start!
