Welcome!
We’re excited to meet you!

Hello there! Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Chris and Eunice Ho - a husband and wife team and parents to five amazing kids. We have been married for almost eighteen years and have been in various forms of ministry for all of those years.

We can remember starting out in ministry not so long ago. Young, idealistic, full of energy and faith, we put our hands to the plow and set our hearts to love God, love people, and change the world! We didn’t have much experience or wisdom, but we had plenty of passion and our God-given talents and gifts. We served for seven years in our amazing local church and then the next ten years with a pioneer missions organization, during which we spent a season living in the Middle East.

 

When you’re in full-time ministry for almost twenty years, you see a lot of things. We crossed paths with so many incredible, gifted people who had a sincere desire to help others and glorify God. Yet we saw those same people at times struggle to reconcile their faith with their doubts, questions, past experiences, disappointing circumstances, or pain. With others, we saw a major lack of self-awareness and blind spots that affected the way they led, influenced, and impacted others. (We also saw all of these things in ourselves!) Some of these people would eventually figure things out, but others were left feeling confused, alone, and discouraged. At times, the inability to navigate these types of issues led to a significant shift or even departure from their faith.

We believe that faith and struggle do not contradict each other. In fact, struggles are meant to take us to heights and depths in our faith that would be impossible to attain otherwise.

We started The Journey Home Ministries because we believe that everyone, whether they realize it or not, is trying to find their way back "home". We search for it in every place imaginable, but at the end of the day, the home we are looking for is not so much a place as it is a person - our heavenly Father. Yet in our modern world, home – and the love, connection, and security that comes with it – feels more elusive and distant than ever. Many feel alone, lost, or stuck and don’t know where to turn for help.

We want to be a friend and resource to anyone - with a particular focus on leaders and overseas missionaries – who needs help in their journey, and offer guidance and tools to help people overcome whatever obstacles are standing in the way of them experiencing the health, freedom, and fullness of all that God has for them.

I can't say enough good things about Chris and Eunice! Their presence and influence in my life has been much more impactful than they can ever know. I've been led, mentored, and taught by them for about six years now in various ways. I've learned from them through many different aspects including their Biblical teaching, pastoral care, marriage counseling, mentoring, and friendship. They are a couple that make people feel safe while also giving them a chance to grow. They cultivate freedom and health in an environment of grace and truth. It's easy to see their heart and passion for people's health (in every sense) and growth. So thankful to have learned so much from them both.
