Susan Hollern is the Founder and President of Hope Haven Rwanda, a transformative educational initiative that empowers students and families in post-genocide Rwanda. Based in Sedalia, Colorado, Susan brings a background in entrepreneurship, real estate, finance, and deep faith to her work—driven by a personal calling to serve others through bold obedience and a surrendered life. Her leadership has turned a humble school under a tree into a thriving institution that now educates over 2,000 students annually, with a vision of raising up the next generation of Christian world leaders. Susan joins us on The Wow Factor to walk us through her personal and spiritual journey—from growing up in Ohio with a strong work ethic and independent spirit, to experiencing a full surrender to God that changed her life's trajectory. She shares how a mission trip to the Philippines and a divine encounter at a Rwanda fundraiser set her on a path to found Hope Haven. Susan's story is full of wisdom, perseverance, and vision. Her mission isn't just to educate students but to support entire families and communities so every child has the chance to thrive—spiritually, emotionally, and academically. “I kept praying, ‘Use me.' But when you say that, be ready. Your life will not look the same—but I promise, it'll be better.” – Susan Hollern “Hope Haven started under a tree with 97 kids. Now we serve over 2,000 students. That's a miracle only God could write.” – Susan Hollern “I had to fully surrender—not just me, but my whole family. Once I did, I saw how much I'd been holding back from God.” – Susan Hollern This Week on The Wow Factor: How growing up with a strict work ethic shaped Susan's sense of independence The struggle of reconciling hard work with faith—and how surrender changed everything Her path from horse shows and real estate to founding a school in Rwanda The catalytic moment that connected her to Rwanda through a book, a handshake, and a mission trip How Hope Haven Rwanda evolved from a school functioning in a mud house and tent to a primary/secondary school and later adding a leadership institute for students to launch successfully into careers, impacting all 30 districts in the  Why true transformation goes beyond education—it's about changing families and entire communities The power of praying bold prayers, asking God to “use me,” and trusting Him in moments of pain and reversal Student success stories, including international math, AI, and debate competitions Her vision of raising Christian world leaders from some of the most underserved communities on the planet Susan Hollern's Word of Wisdom: If you want to live a truly meaningful life, don't just give part of yourself—surrender everything. It's not always easy, but it's the only way to live in full partnership with God's purpose. When you let go of control, you make space for miracles.

Letter from CEO Welcome to our Y. Anchored in more than 10,000 neighborhoods around the country, the Y has the long standing relationship and physical presence not just to promise, but to deliver, lasting personal and social change. Strengthening Clarke and surrounding counties is our cause and we serve three crucial areas of focus to help individuals, families and communities learn, grow and thrive. The Y is for Youth Development, because we believe all kids deserve opportunities to discover who they are and what they can achieve. The Athens YMCA is unique in the area of Youth Development due to our ability to serve over 300 kids per day in our after school programs. We provide transportation for children to attend Y after school programs from 21 elementary and middle schools in 3 counties. We often find that our Y bridges the gap for childhood friendships. Our “pride and joys” of youth offerings are swim lessons, day camp, and residential camp. We strongly believe that every child should have an opportunity to learn to swim, attend a day camp, and attend a sleep away camp. That strong belief is why we have worked tirelessly to ensure that our programs meet the physical, mental, and emotional needs of all kids. The Y is for Healthy Living, improving the nation's health and well-being. The Y brings families closer together, encourages good health and fosters connections through fitness, sports, fun and shared interests. The Athens YMCA has partnered with Athens Regional Hospital to help design the best Healthy Living model possible. Through this partnership we have been able to offer a diabetes prevention program, a cancer survivor program, health fairs and screenings, Health Matters for families program, and assistance with health related questions from a registered nurse who is stationed in our building. We have also redesigned our fitness schedule with highly demanded classes to help not only meet the needs of the community, but to encourage people to focus on their personal health. We pride ourselves on creating an environment that is welcoming and inclusive. A healthier community promotes well-being and offers a high quality of life. The Y is for Social Responsibility, giving back and providing support to all our neighbors. The Y has been listening and responding to our communities' most critical needs for 163 years. We are committed to collaborating with other community organizations that make social responsibility a priority, offering assistance to anyone in need, providing both paid and volunteer opportunities, and creating affordable programs for those with special needs. We provide roughly $200,000 in financial assistance and program improvements and have collaborated with organizations such as The Salvation Army, Hope Haven, Project Safe, and Northeast GA Foodbank. We currently supply our community with over 200 jobs, 600 hours' worth of volunteer opportunity, and offer opportunities to obtain special certifications such as CPR, First Aid, Lifeguard, and Swim Instructor. The Y is for the entire community, and is open to everyone. Donors enable the Athens YMCA, a charitable, non-profit organization in compliance with IRS code 501(C) 3, to offer a Financial Assistance Program for those individuals and families that qualify. We are here to serve you, your family and all of our communities while developing your spirit, mind and body. Welcome to our Y! Sincerely, M.

How do you find hope IN the struggle? So often, when we are in the middle of life's chaos, the hope we are looking for is the hope of an escape. What if we can find hope IN the chaos that will get us THROUGH it? This week on The March or Die Show, I have the privilege of talking with Dr. Jason Peters as he tells his story of trauma, chaos, and hope found while serving in the Military that now allows him to help others around the world. Dr. Peters is currently the CEO of Hope Haven which serves the families and children of Rwanda, East Africa. He is also a retired United States Air Force Chaplain and holds degrees in Clinical Trauma Counseling and Christian Education. Dr. Peters helps us by sharing his experiences as a Chaplain during the war in Iraq as well as lessons he has learned serving others who are dealing with severe trauma.

Welcome to another episode of the Beef! Visiting us today is Kristyn Stillwell from HTX Hope Haven. Tune in to hear the story of how she built Hope Haven with a view to empower the homeless to get off the streets and build a better life. She shares what led her to discover her gift for supporting the homeless and where it all started, why she believes in feeding ministries, and why she is committed to not making people comfortable on the street. Hope Haven aims to build relationship, plant seeds of hope, and encourage folks to want more for their lives. They do this by supporting clients through life transitions, providing housing programs, and enabling people to enter the workforce. We touch on the process of acquiring resources to sustain the business throughout the pandemic through government and church relationships, and how the program has been carefully curated to provide people with incremental freedom, before letting listeners know exactly how they can help out. Thanks for tuning in!  Key Points From This Episode: The most embarrassing music she likes to listen to: “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus, Lauren Daigles “Trust in Me”, and “Fight Song” by Rachel Platten. Kristyn's story of growing up as a tenacious child and eventually starting a consultancy.How she wouldn't have been able to start Hope Haven without a supportive husband.The story of how she met four other families with the same heart to help the homeless.Where it all got started: 249 on Hope, and how they got over 70 people off the street.Why she believes in feeding ministries but not to make people comfortable on the street.What they hand out with a view to building relationships, planting seeds of hope, and encouraging folks to want more for their lives.The client transition piece and future planning that Hope Haven helps people build.The housing programs and success community that Hope Haven facilitates.How they found resources through the commissioner cable office during the pandemic.What their partnerships with local churches and individual funders look like.Future plans for Hope Haven: the Back to Work program with Work Faith Commission, and the transitional living center they hope to set up, especially for families.How a transitional living center can help break the cycle of poverty and homelessness.Why the extra programs are important to empower people to work and not live for free.The progression that is worked into the program to provide incremental freedom.How you can help out: share their social media content to spread awareness, offer your business services at a discounted rate, pray for them, and donate what you have in excess. Tweetables: “In that five-year time period we had gotten over 70 people off the street, and today I can tell you, 45 of those are still off the street. And that's when friends started saying, and pastors were like, ‘Wait a minute, what you're doing is working!'” — @krystinstill [0:11:44] “I don't believe in making them comfortable out there because in my Bible it says that God has plans to prosper us but not to harm us so in my optimistic mind I believe that nobody's supposed to be there.” — @krystinstill [0:13:46] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Kristyn Stillwell on LinkedIn Kristyn Stillwell on Twitter Hope Haven Hope Haven on Facebook Hope Haven on Instagram  Hope Haven on Twitter WorkFaith Beefy Marketing Beefy Marketing on Instagram Beefy Marketing on YouTube Beefy Marketing on Facebook

Over the past 8 years, my family and I have traveled thousands and thousands of miles across our great country to sing and display the Gospel in rescue missions, street corners, churches, drug rehab centers and anywhere we can. One of the opportunities that these trips have provided has been meeting various Christians, hearing their testimonies, and discovering that they are indeed our family too. Jesus himself said that “there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come..." Luke 18:29-30.  We've had the privilege of staying with many folks in their homes and experiencing the reality that we are family in Jesus. On one of our ​ journeys, we stayed with our brother in Christ, Jason Peters, who was working at that time with the Voice of the Martyrs in Bartlesville Oklahoma. On this most recent trip, we reconnected with Jason, this time in Colorado, where he is now involved in a unique work (Hope Haven Rwanda) involving his whole family in the country of Rwanda. On this week's podcast, Jason introduces me to Susan Hollern who is the founder of Hope Haven Rwanda. I was blessed to meet Susan and to hear her testimony as well as to learn much about Rwanda that I really did not know. Listen to the podcast and click on the link below to find out how you can serve Jesus and even get to know Him more through His people in Rwanda.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/karlgessler)
