Hospitality House Sharing God’s Grace with the Other Victims of Crime

912 10th Street, Huntsville, TX 77320***936-291-6196***wwwthehospitalityhouse.org

Built in 1986, the Hospitality House has assisted hundreds of families of prisoners each year. The

staff are dedicated to provide the physical and spiritual needs of prison families with temporary

shelter, food, counsel and witness. They are committed to the strengthening of spiritual and

family relationships to help them see the hope that only God can provide. The ministry is

directed by Debra McCammon. Her husband, Joe, serves as chaplain for the ministry.

This family ministry maintains contact with families, inmates, chaplains, and other support groups

both inside and outside of prison. Special attention is given to providing gifts for children at

Christmas time and on special occasions.

The purpose of the Hospitality House Ministry is to promote the public welfare and alleviate the

hardships of the disadvantaged by ministering to the physical and religious needs of families of

prisoners incarcerated in the penal system of the state of Texas. These families are the “other

victims” of crimes.

You and your church, Sunday School class, organization, business or family can share with those

who are in need by doing the following:

Pray for the Ministry of the Hospitality House

Support the Hospitality House financially

Volunteer to be part of the Ministry

Volunteer to provide repairs to the House

Donate food items for distribution

House statistics for the 1st Quarter: 577 guests, 323 volunteers, 1304 volunteer hours, 42 Bibles

given, 31 counseled, 36 churches spoke in, and 9 executions where families were ministered to.
