Houses for Healing, a Texas-based nonprofit organization that provides free, short-term living for those experiencing medical crises, has announced it is adding 16 new houses to its faith-based ministry.
The ministry, located in North Abilene, comprises four houses that provide shelter to families who go to Abilene for medical treatment. Six local churches help feed, minister to and provide transportation for residents in each home.
Now, 16 more miniature houses will be added across the street from the four already in existence.
Brian Massey, the founder and president of Houses of Healing, told The Christian Post that when the new houses are added to the initiative, up to 30 additional churches will likely step up to meet the needs of new residents.
Massey said– “We build tiny houses to love neighbors and take care of the sick, and we invite churches to adopt houses. They minister to the residents and help them to know the Lord and provide food and transportation for them.”
Massey said Houses for Healing was founded in 2016 after he got a vision from God while on a prayer walk.
As the ministry expands in the coming weeks, Massey has high hopes for the future. He believes that God will call more people and churches in a coming revival to help the sick population.
