A Message from Troy

January 2025

Dear HopeQuest Family,

If you know me well, you know how much I love January. There’s something about new beginnings that excites me, and this year is no different. As 2025 begins, I find myself reflecting on the challenges of 2024. And, yet, every difficulty was navigated by the grace of God. The same grace that carried me through the highs and lows of last year will surely sustain me through whatever lies ahead. God’s amazing grace is as real and available as it’s ever been. Whether 2024 was a season of triumphs or trials for you, remember that His grace carried you – and that same grace will continue to be your foundation no matter what’s in store in 2025.

His grace has kept me safe thus far. His grace shall lead me Home!

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

– Lamentations 3:21-23 (NIV)

My encouragement for both of us is to start this year not with resolutions, goals, promises, or commitments, but with hope firmly rooted in God’s Word. Let’s not rely on our own strength, but instead lean on the amazing grace and faithful love of God. He can accomplish in and through us what would otherwise be impossible. May we trust in His great grace as we step into a new year!

As we place our trust in God’s grace together, I want to share a few exciting updates with you:

  1. Porch Time with Pastor B is Back
    If you know, you know! Join Pastor B and me for the 61st episode of Porch Time HERE.
  2. HopeBuilders Monthly Giving Program
    This year, my personal emphasis and prayers are focused on our monthly donors. No one makes a greater impact on the mission of HopeQuest than this faithful group. I invite you to prayerfully consider joining our team of HopeBuilders. Whether it’s $10 or $1,000, every gift puts a smile on my face. Because of our HopeBuilders, we can start each month strong. I would be so grateful to have you join us in building hope. You can learn more HERE.
  3. The TREK House
    Our TREK house is full! December was huge, and January is following close behind. Please pray for the men in our program, their wives, and their families, as well as the HopeQuest team. Without Jesus, we have nothing to offer, so pray that we keep our eyes fixed on Him. And, if you know someone in need of help, please connect them to us HERE.

I am incredibly grateful for you,

Troy Haas
Chief Executive Officer
