In Luke 5, four friends carry their paralyzed buddy to Jesus. When the house is too crowded, they climb the roof, tear it open, and lower him down on a mat. 

Every day, our staff carries “mats” for kids through mentoring, tutoring, prayer, hard conversations, and steady presence. And sometimes, those same kids carry ours.

The Mat Carrier Project idea came from one simple question: Who is carrying the mat for the staff?

Here’s how it works: Each month, every staff member will be secretly paired with one sponsor.

That sponsor, the Mat Carrier, will: Pray for the staff member daily and send one act of encouragement per week (a note, care package, email).

Interested? Here’s What To Do Next:

Step 1) Email your name, how you’re connected to Hope House, if you’d like to sponsor for one month or more, and if you’re signing up as an individual or group to hhdmatcarrier@gmail.com. 

Step 2) You will receive an email from Taylor (MCP Lead) including a Google Form to complete to select a staff member and preferred month(s) of sponsorship.

After you complete that form, you will then receive:

A short profile about your staff member, including their love language, some of their favorite things, and other fun facts.

A monthly calendar with specific daily prayer focuses and weekly reminders for sending encouragement items. It will explain where to send one meaningful gift each week and what those gifts could be.

Step 3) Start Carrying “The Mat!”

Prayer Requests:

• For each of our kids as they wrap up their summer and prepare for school to start.
• For our staff as they navigate transitions.
