Our History

Julie’s Story

In 1977, Julie West Sorrelle became pregnant at age eighteen. Frightened and feeling hopeless, she scheduled an abortion. Just days before her appointment, she decided, instead, to complete her pregnancy. With her parents’ support, Julie moved into a Christian maternity home in Pennsylvania where she received guidance and encouragement throughout her pregnancy. After giving birth to a healthy baby boy and placing him for adoption with a loving Christian couple, Julie returned home to South Florida to complete the healing process.

God used Julie’s experience to plant a desire in her family’s heart to create a similar ministry in South Florida, and after much prayer and careful planning, His Caring Place opened its doors in 1984. Throughout the years, this residential home has served hundreds of young women and their families, not only practically, but also spiritually. Today, we marvel at how God continues to use the life of a desperate, fearful teenager to prove His faithfulness to many others just like her.

Miracle Home Make-Over Update
We are pleased to announce that our Miracle Home Make-Over campaign has officially begun! In July of 2006 we shared the vision for this project with our supporters. Their positive response and support gave us the go-ahead to work towards eliminating some of our greatest concerns at His Caring Place - lack of space for the amount of girls we want to help, room for non-residential ministry to take place, and counseling/education rooms for the girls in the program. Ever since Hurricane Wilma damaged our already - deteriorating Coconut Creek house in 2005, most of you know that our maternity home has been in a much smaller, temporary space in Pompano Beach. Though we've diligently searched out many options, God has continued to confirm our desire to move back home to our Coconut Creek property - the ministry home of His Caring Place for over 20 years. This year of waiting patiently on God's timing has given us the opportunity to lay the groundwork for meeting the needs that a project of this magnitude will require. At this point, we have more than 25 companies on our Miracle Home Make-Over Team, ready to pitch in and help when their turn comes! We look forward to introducing these special individuals to you as the project progresses. We'd like to thank you for your faithful prayers and interest over the past year as we began the first stages of this exciting journey. And we still have many needs to cover! If you can help - please contact Katy Mills at 954-905-5135 or email Newsletter@hiscaringplace.org.
