“Hopeslinger Ministries did not officially exist 4 years ago, but Amy was already slinging hope around. She was an angel of support and a Godsend for sure as our sister recovered from a life-threatening stroke. To watch now as she follows the guidance of God in establishing this ministry, and letting Him define the “what” and the “where,” is inspiring. Hopeslinger Ministries will be accompanying our sister Jodi for another post-stroke treatment, and I know it will be a time of joy. Jodi says she is always so full of joy and laughter after spending time with Amy.”

“I recently had the opportunity to attend a Seeking God in Stillness and Silence retreat, and it was truly a transformative experience. The retreat was held in a large, beautiful home located right in the heart of downtown Wichita, Kansas—an unexpected yet perfect setting. Even in the middle of the city, the environment felt peaceful and inviting, creating a unique blend where the sights and sounds of urban life complemented the quiet invitation to listen for God’s voice. The atmosphere was intentionally crafted to help participants unplug from everyday noise and distractions. With no cell phones, no music, no talking, no television, and no tablets, we were encouraged to return to the basics: paper Bibles, journals, and stillness. In that simplicity, God spoke—through nature, through silence, and even through the gentle hum of the city around us. The retreat leaders were exceptional. They thoughtfully provided everything needed to help everyone feel comfortable, cared for, and spiritually open. Their attention to detail created a safe and nurturing environment where participants could rest, reflect, and experience inner healing. Throughout my time there, I found myself reconnecting not only with God but also with my own heart in ways I didn’t expect. The stillness created space for deep reflection, peace, and renewal. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone who desires to step away from the noise of everyday life and lean into a deeper, quieter encounter with God. It is a sacred experience of rest, reflection, and genuine spiritual refreshment.”
