A few blocks from Sims Park in Douglas, hope is rising for the Davis family.
Just months ago, this was a place of heartbreak—their home sliced in half by Hurricane Helene, trees through the middle, rubble where memories once lived. Volunteers gathered in the wreckage, praying over the Davis family, believing God was not finished with this story.
Today, that prayer is being answered.
Amish and Mennonite Disaster Service volunteer teams are on site, and what once felt impossible now looks like a home. The walls have risen. Trusses are set. The roof is on. A porch is taking shape. You can finally see it—it looks like a house.
One of the most powerful moments in this journey belongs to little Jones Davis. On the night of the storm, she prayed out over the storm for hours as the winds tore through her home. Since then, she has watched the plans for a new house, stood beside volunteers praying over the foundation, and today—she gets to see those prayers take form in wood and nails. God heard her prayers that night.
This home is being built through faithful prayers, generous Amish/MDS teams who have given and collected donations, the timely partnership of Hope Force International, leaders at Hope for Coffee, and a community that has come from across the country to stand with one family—and one little girl who never stopped believing.
Hope is rising for the Davis family.
Hope is rising for Coffee County.
People are witnessing God rebuild—one home, one prayer, one family at a time.
One County. One Community. One Hope.
