Miracle City Groundbreaking Initiative

This dream of Miracle City has become the rallying cry behind Compassion United’s all-encompassing efforts to restore hope and transform futures. Just as the nickname Miracle City once personified Conroe during the Great Depression, we want to revive the presence of Miracle City within our streets! Our nation and county face an epidemic of homelessness and poverty that no one person or government can fix. It is only solved by communities uniting together to lift one another up, recognizing that one of us wins, we all win.

With what we believe is a God-appointed dream for our city, your gifts of generosity, and our efforts together, this is possible. In fact, the dream is already underway! With the City of Conroe’s incredible gift of 5 acres of land and generous financial donations of long-time partners, we are excited to announce the groundbreaking of Miracle City!

So it’s here, with tremendous excitement and gratitude, that we invite you to be a part of restoring hope and transforming futures for generations to come. We need you. Our community needs you! We have gotten out of the starting blocks, but it will take a determined, focused effort to see Miracle City become a reality. We have a narrow timeline to reach both of our goals!

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

Phase 1 Goal = $150,000
These funds will pay for the initial campus groundwork and construct the first building of Miracle City (The Empowerment Center), serving as a multi-purpose unit. Estimated completion date March 2021.

Phase 2 Goal = $750,000
These funds will pay for constructing the second and largest building on Miracle City’s campus (The Day Center), which will house CHOP and serve many other vital capacities. Estimated completion date February 2022.

Once 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 model for similar models across the nation to address homelessness on a broader level.

The campus will allow people to live and work in a graced-based, inspiring environment where they’ll develop emotional and spiritual maturity, life skills and work experience as they discover abundant life. Miracle City will include a welding shop, carpentry shop, auto repair shop, food pantry, clothing closet, and more in addition to short and long-term housing.

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.
