After life took unexpected turns, Crystal found herself rebuilding in Newaygo, MI.

“I was lost, fearing a wrathful God and struggling to find purpose. Then I discovered Growing Hope (a ministry of Love INC of Newaygo County, MI). Joining it, I didn’t realize the incredible journey ahead. ‘Love in the Name of Christ’ truly lived up to its name, showing me Christ’s love where I was. My mentor, loving and supportive, guided me through financial and legal hurdles, and the fellowship inspired me to shine my light. Today, I see God differently—a forgiving, loving presence. Through Growing Hope, I’ve grown spiritually and practically. Leaders offer a listening ear, prayers, encouragement, and practical support. They’ve helped me find stability. If you’re feeling stuck or uncertain about God’s place in your life, I highly recommend this program—it’s a family that supports, teaches, and loves unconditionally. I’m so grateful for Love INC for opening doors in my life.”
