At our recent Shepherd’s Door Annual Alumni Celebration, we gathered to honor and celebrate the women and children who have courageously received services from our programs and are now thriving in their new chapters of life. The event was filled with laughter, shared stories, and heartfelt testimonies that reminded us of the profound impact of God’s work in their lives. Each alumna carried a unique story of resilience, and their journeys underscored the power of faith, support, and healing in their transformation. Through reconnecting with former mentors, peers, and staff, the alumni community felt reinvigorated and reminded that they are never alone in their continued paths to growth and independence.
The celebration was also an inspiring testimony to the ongoing work of God in the lives of the women who have come through our doors. Many alumni shared how their newfound hope and strength have allowed them to rebuild family relationships, pursue meaningful careers, and give back to others in need. Their transformations serve as powerful reminders of God’s grace and the life-changing impact of our programs. It is evident that God’s hand continues to guide and empower these women, enabling them to not only overcome past struggles but also thrive as beacons of hope in their communities.
