Hope House

The commercial real estate industry in Chicago is filled with Christian men who love the Lord and want to serve others!  When Jud made the transition years ago, some of the first people he was introduced to were guys who were involved in a Bible study called CREF (Commercial Real Estate Fellowship).  Since those first days, Jud has become a part of CREF's leadership team and is involved in small group Bible studies, leading Alpha courses, serving the men at Hope House, and putting on a industry wide outreach breakfast every year with over 400 professionals that attend!  I am blown away with how many strong Christian men that flood the commercial real estate firms in Chicago.  Jud is absolutely BLESSED to be a part of such an incredible group of men!  Thank you Lord for what you are doing through the leadership of these guys!

 Fun outing with Daddy!


Hope House is a safe and loving place where formally incarcerated men can go to begin to get back on their feet!  It is a wonderful ministry that embraces the week at such a vital time in their lives.  The men of CREF take time to build relationships and love on the men of Hope House.  Jud has really enjoyed being a part of these events!
