The many people who came for the dedication ceremony were able to hear comments from various speakers concerning the growth of Ebenezer and its burden to help children in need from board members and volunteers who have an active role in making Ebenezer a reality. Jerry Sidden, Board Chairman, welcomed the crowd and expressed excitement over the “Walk of Hope.” The walkway leading into the Hope Home was paved with bricks listing names in honor or memory of loved ones by those who purchased bricks for this special project. Words of hope were shared by John Wishon, and Jackie Wishon sang “Thread of Hope.” Rev. Ken Pardue lead the opening prayer of dedication as the crowd formed a circle to pray for the Hope Home and the children who will soon occupy it.

About Me
- Name: Ebenezer
- Location: North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, United States
In 1994 it began as a vision. We saw hurting children who had been removed from their natural homes for various reasons. Why not join forces and build a home when home is not an option? It began just like this. It is amazing how God put the right people in touch with each other. These people began raising money to purchase the existing home on Byrd Ridge Road and the 200+ acres that will allow us to grow as God leads. Many people began to see the vision. This dream has continued to spread. Through the gracious support of people who share the desire to do a great work in the lives of children, we have expanded beyond the original home and now have three homes, Genesis, Faith and Charity. And a fourth on the way, HOPE. Those who enter our doors are more blessed from the extended hands of His faithful servants. We maintain an atmosphere like a normal loving home. Our children are raised in the nurture and admonition of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
