Lakehills pastor expands service with shelter

Pastor Carlos Duran of Grace Redemption Community Church is expanding a branch of his ministry, a homeless shelter known as Redemption Home, according to information provided by the organization.

Located on 15 acres, the shelter currently houses up to 30 people, including men, women and children. Duran said the idea for Redemption Home began in his own house, where he opened his doors to people in need.

“In one month, I had eleven people living with me,” Duran said. “We didn’t have funds for a property.”
