The Dream Continues to Grow!

In April 2022, Phase One of the Miracle City campus was completed because of the incredible sacrifice of many people like you. This monumental accomplishment has enabled us to begin serving Montgomery County like never before. We can’t express how humbled we are to be part of this amazing community! And while we are proud of our progress over the last two years, we know we can’t rest here.

We believe now more than ever that God has appointed this dream for our city, and what God sets in motion, we know He will provide. So it’s here, with tremendous excitement and gratitude, that we invite you to be a part of furthering the impact of Miracle City and join in the joy of seeing hope restored and futures transformed. We need you. Our community needs you!

We pray you’ll consider partnering with us for this next milestone moment. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference! Together, we can end homelessness, break the cycle of poverty, and give at-risk youth the gift of a brighter future. Together, we will leave a legacy worth remembering!

Initiative Goals

Phase Two of Miracle City will provide more than just buildings. It will provide stable environments to nurture life transformation for hundreds of individuals annually. By offering an escape from their situation, we can engage with them one-on-one and begin a holistic journey to recovery and life transformation.

Together, with God’s provision and your faithful generosity, we seek to raise $6.5 million to fund Phase Two of Miracle City.

Testimonies

Jeremy Box

Long-time Ministry Partner

“I’ve watched Luke, Karla, and the Compassion United team work tirelessly to love and empower people that most of society would rather forget. They care for the poor and forgotten better than any other non-profit I’ve seen. I’m honored to be a small part of their impact by volunteering and financially supporting their efforts. Every city in the country needs a Compassion United!”

Tom Hauser

Board Member

“I began volunteering at CU because of the passion of the founders, Luke and Karla. What kept me coming back was getting to know the people at CHOP. They are people just like me who had a life issue that put them in situations that, but for the grace of God, I could be in as well. It’s a blessing to celebrate their successes and walk with them in their losses, just as Jesus did.”

Jody Czajkoski

Mayor of Conroe

“I have known Luke and Compassion United for seven years, and their team is the real deal! I would love to see this Miracle City project perfected because I believe it will greatly benefit our city’s homelessness dilemma for decades to come.”

Jack & LuAnne Criswell

Long-time Ministry Partners

“Jack and I have been blessed to volunteer at Conroe House of Prayer for over ten years. It’s a wonderful experience to serve alongside the people of Compassion United as they love and empower our neighbors in need with the most sincere hearts. God continues to work miracles around us as we serve faithfully and joyfully.”

About Miracle City

Once fully complete, Miracle City will be a first-of-its-kind, whole-person transformation community for Montgomery County, uniquely focused on serving the forgotten, marginalized and hopeless. There will indeed be no place like it! In fact, city leaders have said that Miracle City could be a standard for similar models across the nation to address homelessness on a broader level.

The five-acre campus will allow people to live and work in a grace-based, inspiring environment where they’ll develop emotional and spiritual maturity, life skills and work experience as they discover a new and abundant life. Miracle City will consist of transitional, short and long-term housing with built-in support services and empowerment opportunities. In addition, it will house a welding shop, carpentry shop, auto repair shop, food pantry, clothing closet, and much more.

In ten years of full operation, Miracle City will have the capacity to holistically transform over 1250 lives and serve over 120,000 under-resourced families per year with food, clothing, emotional and spiritual guidance, and more, introducing hope into their darkness.

From Our Founders

We’re so grateful for each one of you that makes restoring hope and transforming futures possible. We pray God’s richest blessings over you and your family as we align our hearts with His vision!

Thank You,
