Special thanks to our valued partner, Heirborn Servants, for gifting Cora F. with a beautiful car. Cora becomes the second Gilgal graduate our friends at Heirborn have blessed.
“I thank God for using John and Denise at Heirborn Servants to bless me with this car. Having my own transportation changes everything for me — how I get to work, where I buy my groceries, and how often I get to see my family. Words just can’t express how grateful I am.”

Gilgal would like to say a special “THANK YOU” to Priscilla Wilkinson, director and founder of Women of Life, Inc., and her special team of women. Through a campaign they called, “Labor of Love,” they prepared backpacks filled with bibles, goodies and other special essentials for the Women of Gilgal.
Thank you Women of Life for sowing into our ladies through your Labor of Love. Changes Happens at Gilgal because of FAITHFUL supporters like you! May God richly bless you for your kindness toward us!
Join us in congratulating Veronica D. for her successful completion of the Transformations @ Gilgal program. You may remember Veronica from last year’s Blue Jean Gala where she shared her powerful testimony. Her story was also featured in our most recent ministry update.
Veronica is moving to her hometown of Philadelphia, and hopes to continue her nursing career. She also plans to pursue the ministry God laid on her heart called, “Serve a Soul – Save a Soul,” which will serve homeless and disadvantaged individuals in the Philadelphia area. Her deepest desire is that they come to know how much God loves them, and that He has wonderful plans for their lives.
We are extremely proud of Veronica and look forward to watching God use her to impact lives. Thank you to the countless partners who support our ministry and women like Veronica. Change Happens at Gilgal because God is FAITHFUL!

Change Happens. That is certainly true now more than ever. But at Gilgal, we embrace it, because we know that through it, God’s faithfulness is proven, and His promises fulfilled.
And, while many may linger in uncertainty about what our current environment will bring next, the Gilgal residents, staff, and volunteers remain committed to embracing the change and making the most of this new way of living.
COVID-19 has not stopped the faithfulness of God at Gilgal. Things may look different and our delivery may have changed – but our resolve and our purpose has not. We remain intentional as a Christ-centered, long-term, recovery residence committed to restoring homeless women with addictions. Continue reading
We are so grateful to Pastor Boyer and her team at God’s Chosen Ministries/Faith Seed International for their continued love and support to our Gilgal women.
Pastor Boyer and her daughter Consuela have been giving and serving at Gilgal for several years. Some of their activities for the women have included hosting a talent show, teaching art lessons, playing games and bringing wonderful meals. They have also donated generous amounts of much needed items like toilet paper, cleaning supplies and gift baskets overflowing with personal hygiene items and special treats.
Their most recent donation to Gilgal included beautifully gift-wrapped baskets full of goodies, as well as supplies for the residences. We are so grateful to this special group of women who love on our residents.
Change Happens at Gilgal because of FAITHFUL volunteers and partners like Pastor Boyer!
