What does it look like when hope takes root in a neighborhood—and begins to change everything?

This week on Advancing the Mission, we sit down with Chris Minier, Director of Development, and Zach Speith, Director of Operations, of Bridge of Grace Ministries to hear how God is at work on the southeast side of Fort Wayne through a mission built on HOPE: Housing, Opportunity, Progress, and Education.

In this encouraging conversation, Chris and Zach share how Bridge of Grace is walking alongside individuals and families as they move toward stability, growth, and a renewed future. From providing safe and affordable housing to creating pathways for opportunity and education, their work reflects what it looks like when the love of Christ is lived out in practical, life-changing ways.

We also talk about how real transformation happens through relationships—when people are known, supported, and empowered to take their next step forward. And we explore how County Line and listeners like you can partner with Bridge of Grace to help bring lasting hope to a community God deeply loves.

It’s a conversation about restoration, faith, and the kind of hope that doesn’t just inspire—but rebuilds.
