Hoseas House resides in the Portland Neighborhood in Louisville Kentucky. This organization has and is helping women and families escape domestic violence and traumatic situations. The care that is received upon arrival is indescribable!!! It is absolutely heaven sent and unbelievable!! The women and children are empowered and equipped to face another day!!!
This ministry changes lives. I've seen young women move from irresponsibility to being mature adults, raising their children well, providing for themselves and their children, and then giving back to others. A complete change of life, changing the trajectory of their family line forever. This ministry is a blessing to not only the women and children that come here, but to the community as well.

Hosea’s House is a place that troubled women can go, and bring their children with them. They are loved on, receive basic life skills training, counseling, and assistance in turning their lives around. As a volunteer I’ve seen addicts become wonderful Godly women, handling the demands of motherhood, education and jobs for the first time in their life. Family curses are broken and healthy families with God at the center become a part of the community, showing others what is possible for them as well.
I met the ladies at Hosea House several years ago. They immediately spoke the peace and presence of Jesus into me through their love for others. Their example of unconditional love and willing serving hearts changed me! I began to see God is at work, there IS HOPE, HE IS ALIVE, and most importanly, He is accessible. Im so thankful for the ladies of Hosea’s House example, i truly see Jesus like I had never seen Him before. Thank you Jesus!
✝️❣️ Thank you good and faithful servants!
Hosea’s House gave me a chance when nobody else would. Hosea’s House gave me the skills I needed to succeed as a mother, as a friend, as an employee. I was given tools to succeed in my Faith, my mental health, my financial responsibilities, and my relationships. Through this ministry I have gained confidence in myself and I have learned the ability to trust others again and discern who and what are safe people and things to trust to be a functioning member of society. Hosea’s House gave me a reset in life and if I’m honest, Hosea’s House saved my life by showing me the love of Christ.
I have volunteered at Hosea’s House and it is a great organization helping women and their children find a home (instead of just a house). They truly care about their residents and walk with them every single day. They work to empower these women instead of just giving them a hand out. They truly care about the people they serve and teach the women to give back to the community!
Beautiful ministry for women and children. So much of God’s love goes into helping those who need support during difficult times. It is a safe haven and a way to get your life back on track. Reach out to them ❤️❤️
I personally know the owner/founder Teresa, and she has the absolute biggest heart for women and children going through transition, whether it be freedom from addiction, abuse, etc. she has built only what some of us survivors dream of building to help women in transition and their children. When I was in an abusive marriage I didn’t have a place like this to go to for the help and the guidance, which is why I stayed longer than I should have, with my children. They endured seeing so much, if I would have had an opportunity to seek what Teresa offers, my kids and I may have not endured so much. We underestimate the power of our abusers, and we stay longer not knowing what could happen. But what Teresa offers is freedom from that life, she offers women and children the freedom to have a better life, beginning with their faith and relationship with the Lord and the resources to become successful in whatever they wish to become! She is truly a blessing for women seeking to have a new start and helping them and their children to seek a new normal, a better life, which is such a blessing!!
This is such an amazing and personal mission helping some of the most in need. They always go the extra mile for their clients and make them feel like family.
My time volunteering at the Hosea’s House has been so fulfilling. I’ve had the opportunity to develop a relationship with each lady and walk along side of them. Christ is at the center and his work is being done daily. Teresa and Sherri love on the women and their child ensuring all needs are met. The success stories are remarkable. I highly recommend the Hosea’s House!!!
Based on the teachings of the Bible and Christ, they help women with love to find the way and to be blessed in life and to be better women and mothers, a safe house for women and children who live with love, and dear Mrs. Terisa, who loves all The issues are handled, thank you and thank God that this non-profit exists with the help of all the volunteers

Being a volunteer at Hosea’s House is one of the best experiences I have ever had. Getting to know the Director, Teresa Oechsli and all the work she does is amazing. Her selfless commitment to the young women and children there is relentless I have seen what it means to these women and children to be rescued from a hopeless life and be given a home, hope, education, a helping hand with their children, jobs and everything needed to help them be a productive citizen.
Hosea's House changed my life! I was a resident and I felt welcomed and loved:) I didn't have that from my own family. I got to get my high school diploma and celebrate on the beach, and got custody of my son back. Most importantly got close to God. Even after leaving Hosea's House they are still in my life. Give them a chance and recommend to anyone who is lost and needs help or in a bad situation/ abandoned/abused..
I am a graduate of this amazing ministry. The love of Christ that is in this home is beautiful. I was broken and forgotten and he lead me here. My life is beautiful now. I am raising my children to love Jesus and it’s because I learned how here in this ministry.

This ministry helped me to gain a life in Jesus name that I never could imagine. I am an amazing Godly woman with a beautiful 2 1/2 year old son name Jaxon who never has to see his mother use drugs or alcohol. God used this ministry to radically change me. I am now buying my own home and attending college to become an Interior Designer. This is all because I surrendered and was willing to go to any lengths necessary to break the generational curses so my son will never have to live a life as I did.
Hoseas house gives a safe home for women and children going through domestic violence. Offering not only shelter, but guidance, counseling and above all prayer. They stay with these women every step of the way and continue to help them once they have worked through their trauma. You become family at Hoseas House for your lifetime.
I have known Hosea’s House and followed this ministry for the past 7 years. They are focused and intentional. They do not drift from their mission. There is much love and encouragement for all the women and families involved and for the volunteers. They are careful stewards of their donations. Teresa Oechsli the Executive Director and Founder is a tremendous leader and role model. I would definitely give them a five star rating as a solid, impactful nonprofit.
Where to start! Hosea's House helps women and children change their life stories for the better, breaking generational curses, empowering women to live on their own and recovery from past hurts. I cannot speak highly enough of their services in our community.
Hoseas House has an incredible mission by walking with women in need. Providing the women with resources to become self sufficient.
I have visited Hosea's House and witnessed the love and support that they offer. Hosea's House helps women and children in crisis by giving them a place to live while helping them with life skills to support themselves when ready. Children are also welcomed with loving arms! The best gift of all is that they are shown the love of Christ! Can't say enough good things about this place!!
personally i've seen many women come from Hosea's House stronger, stedfast, with purpose, and most importantly knowing Jesus. The ladies that have walked through the doors of Hosea's house have been loved and heard from volunteers and staff. When i hear of a woman in crisis, Hosea's House is the first place we call becasue i know women are cared for, loved and listened to. Hosea's House helps them find jobs, gives them a safe place to heal, be nurtured, and grow. The home is a beautiful atmosphere of peace, safty and comfort.

Thank you for your support.
Being a volunteer at Hosea's House has taught me how lives can be changed and hearts can be healed, when Jesus is put first and the root issues of the heart are dealt with. I have watched woman and families in the house grow in Christ, while learning they are not defined by their past, that they have a future, worth, and that they deserve to be loved. That life can be lived without being held in chains or in bondage. Hosea's House is powerful and healing to those that walk through the doors. My life has been changed.
I volunteered at hoseas house before moving up north. It is a wonderful ministry full of God fearing women who pray without ceasing for those who walk through their doors, who encourage one another, who provide a place of support and who give with thanksgiving to those in need! It is such an example of Jesus to those around it and I was thankful for the short time I got be apart of it.
I am a volunteer at Hosea's House. This is a facility that houses women in crisis and their children. Since volunteering at the house I have seen women who live there have life changing experiences. Some on drugs, prostitution, rejection being neglected by family members. Some of these ladies had no where to live and Hosea's House has been a safe place of hope and restoration for them. I have been given a opportunity to teach bible study to the ladies that live at the house and it has been amazing to see the attentiveness and longing for a change in their lives. These ladies have been very transparent about there past and what they are going through right now. Hosea's House has been life changing for each one of them. Since living at the house these women have learned to be more responsible and handle life from a new and positive experience. They have learned to be true mothers to their children and have love and respect for themselves. Volunteering at Hosea's House has been a great and rewarding experience for me. It has been so encouraging to me just to see lives transformed and families restored. From: Ms. Delores Butler
I have seen first hand the transformation in the women from Hosea's House. These women come to Hosea's House broken & lost and through the love shown to them by everyone involved in this ministry, they are healed, restored and rise up to be the women & mother's that God always intended them to be. God definitely has His hand upon this ministry and I know there is victory for these women who come through this program. They are taught self worth, self reliance and more importantly, they are shown the love of God...that they are not their past, there is hope in Jesus and they can live victoriously.
Hosea's House provides women & children in crisis with housing, life skills, community parnterships and the love of Jesus.
Such an amazing organization that supports women and children in crisis. Judgement free zone and doors are always open!! It’s places like this that ensure women and children in need have an opportunity to rise above and look forward to their future!!
I have served this non profit for over 5 years. It is extraordinary how much the women are loved and mentored in changing their lives through Christ. I am humbled to walk alongside these women.
Oh, this ministry! The Lord is working and I’m so blessed to witness lives transformed, including mine. Every family this ministry has served has walked away better. They’ve walked away with a clear understanding of who they are In Christ...they begin to understand they are priceless and deeply loved. There is such a good balance of structure yet also preserving the autonomy of each woman so she can begin to blossom into the woman God has called her to be. It’s been awe inspiring to see the good work continuously being accomplished at Hoseas House.
I’ve witnessed the lives changed and touched by this ministry for several years. Women are unconditionally loved, cared for, challenged and equipped through HH.
Residential ministry is a difficult challenge but there is a great need in our community to offer the long term support women in crisis need.
Teresa has persevered and God has worked through her and those serving with her to impact lives for eternity. Women have found salvation,discipleship and life long relationships.
Continued blessings on Hosea’s House and the women and their children who have been touched through their love and commitment ❤️
Hoseas House is serving moms and children in difficult situations. When a fresh start is needed, they are there.
Hosea's House makes lasting long life changes in the women that it helps. Love, support and resources are provided to help women and their children. Highly recommend them!
Hosea's House serves women & children in crisis by offering them a Christ-centered home that teaches Biblical principles, life skills and personal development. They work within a transformation model and empower the community and residents of their ministry. www.hoseashouse.com
