For those of you who may not know, mission has been a huge part of my life for a very long time. God has had an intricate plan of putting pieces together when I was least expecting it, and Honey in the Rock has been no exception. 

Through various moving parts and stepping stones that God has put in front of me, I was led to create Honey in the Rock. Our mission at Honey in the Rock is to help alleviate generational poverty and hunger by teaching necessary life skills and self-sufficiency. In other words, we are trying to go deeper than offering a hand-out but offering a hand-up. We want to do more than feed a family today, we want to teach them how to feed themselves for a lifetime. 

Honey in the Rock offers a wide range of life skills classes such as sewing, crochet, gardening, canning, cooking, meal planning, budgeting, couponing, and more. Our main program right now is a weekly free meal. This is open to everyone in the community regardless of income or background. It is meant to create a space for community to build relationships where we can cultivate conversations around how we can better hope those within our community for the long haul.

Honey in the Rock is a very new concept of ministry. We are working to establish intentional relationships with the people around us. We are aware that while people may have different struggles or shortcomings than we do, we are ultimately all equal. As such, we will all be treated as equals. While sitting in various classes together, eating together, shopping together, learning together, and simply living life together, we learn that it truly does take a village to live a successful life, and our villages can and should look a lot more diverse than what they may currently look like. 

I highly encourage you to give Honey in the Rock a try. Come join us for a class. Sit with us during a meal. Bring a box of donated items that some of our families can utilize. But most importantly, come build relationships with people who will teach you things you didn't know you didn't know, and learn to love just as Christ intended for us to love one another, regardless of race, sex, ethnicity, or religion.
