A VISION REVEALED Tuesday, April 7, 2009. 7:00 - 8:00pm Lutheran Church of Hope Room 214 925 Jordan Creek Parkway West Des Moines, IA 50266 Hope Village is a mission we have all been called to fulfill, “…thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven”. RSVP, Questions or More Info contact John Dana Custis at (515) 321-1155 or johndana@hopelivesdreambig.org TALKING POINTS We are on a mission from God! We are building a village for adults with special needs. We will serve adults post high school through end of life. We will serve 200 adults with a staff of 400 caregivers. We are a Christian organization; “they will know we are Christians by our love”. We will operate on the “Love Model”, not the dollar model. “What so ever you do to the least of my brothers, this you do unto me”. We will offer societally beneficial employment to residents and staff. We will establish and own for profit businesses to offset our “funding gap”. We will provide housing in assisted and independent living arrangements. Come see and hear the vision! See how you can participate. 3/9/09 Drawing Here is the first rough drawing of Hope Village.
