Julie Miller

Director of Volunteers

My sister was deeply involved with an organization that assisted families in transitioning off the street into functional lives.  Through her, I was introduced to the direness of our homeless situation and how it was being addressed.  My heart was so heavy as I joined in a few of their outreach programs and I knew from the very beginning, turning a blind eye to this heartache and human crisis was not an option.  I truly believe God’s words when he says, it doesn’t matter how broken we’ve been or how big our obstacles are, or how powerful our enemies are.  “Greater is He is in us than he who is in the world,” I John 4:4. We don’t do this alone, God is the foundation of our strength and being part of an organization that brings God’s word into the daily lives and fabric of those we try to help is such an honor and a blessing.  Two years ago, little did I know that the heaviness in my heart for the homeless would be answered by being able to work with our amazing Agape House Team.

I enjoy playing my guitar as well as travel and road trips with my husband.  We are looking forward to  exploring the many quaint and small communities located within this beautiful state.
