Our 3 goals for the next 3-5 years
Goal #1- Ministry Sustainability
Three areas have been targeted to preserve our ability to fulfill our mission. Actions will be taken to promote financial sustainability, to address future staffing needs, and to ensure adequate technology.
Goal #2 - Program Enhancement
The current services provided by Sharing Hope Ministry are impact and life-changing, but we can do more!
Goal #3 - Extended Aftercare
We are excited to share our ideas of helping more women when they are released from incarceration and we have several objectives:
OUR BIG, SCARY, AUDACIOUS GOAL - History has shown that God has always had big plans for Sharing Hope Ministry so our planning sessions includes the "out of the ballpark" dream. Almost every group that participated in this planning session stated that they would love to see either a sober-living facility for our graduates or expansion of the Patsy's Place program. For now, we wait and pray for God's leading, and that He prepares and strengthens us.

Goal #2 - Program Enhancement
The current services provided by Sharing Hope Ministry are impact and life-changing, but we can do more!
- Prison and jail ministries- We will be adding the Spanish Life Recovery Bible and materials to address the growing Spanish speaking population.
- Patsy's Place Transitional Home- Individual plan of actions will be created for each woman. New forms and curriculum will be available to our staff and volunteers, and changes will be made to our program requirements.
- Center for Advancement- This program has opportunities for great growth by adding more evening classes and resources. We have already added GED classes for post-offending women and a 5th week food pantry.
- Other- we are researching opportunities to provide limited services to offending female juveniles and to human trafficing victims who are at-risk for being incarcerated.
Goal #3 - Extended Aftercare
We are excited to share our ideas of helping more women when they are released from incarceration and we have several objectives:
- Prison and Jail ministries - upon request, aftercare packets will be sent to Texas women who have recently been released from incarceration. These packets will have resource lists for local, recovery and spiritual resources, a plan of action for starting their new life, and tips about triggers for addicts.
- Patsy's Place Transitional Home- We will improve communication with graduates and past participants for ongoing support, and provide opportunities to be involved with the ministry.
- Center for Advancement- We are researching the option of providing more aftercare assistance to women as they are being released from Potter and Randall County.
