About

“Larimer County Community Corrections and our female clients have been recipients of Room 4 Hope’s generosity since 2010. They have consistently provided for our women with basic needs. Room 4 Hope has hosted picnics, spa days, Christmas parties in addition to their weekly meetings. The majority of our clients enter our program homeless or directly from jail or prison without clothing or basic necessities. Room 4 Hope provides our women with a fresh start and a boost of confidence to make positive changes in their lives.
After the clients complete our program, Room 4 Hope will stay in contact with them. They ensure that the clients have what they need to live on their own. The staff at Community Corrections are grateful for all that Room 4 Hope has provided to aid the women of Larimer County get back on their feet. We will never forget that there is always Room 4 Hope”.

Martha Fellure

Executive Director

Martha Fellure, Executive Director, active board member and mentor, has extensive experience in a wide array of ministries. She has counseled juvenile delinquents in Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Florida. Martha facilitates the Room 4 Hope meetings, develops and teaches most of the Bible studies geared for the needs of women at risk.
As a mentor with the women of Room 4 Hope, I have been mentored and encouraged myself. I realize that each of us who enter our room where hope is found has words to share that will serve to meet the needs of others. It is amazing to be a part of watching lives changed, family relationships healed and women finding hope where once failure and discouragement reigned. God's love is the basis for all the hope shared each week.

I have been given a fantastic opportunity to serve our community as the Director of New Beginnings and secretary at our board meetings. I enjoy mentoring women who have never experienced unconditional love. It is so exciting to be a part of this fantastic program reaching women who are experiencing life challenges that can be overwhelming. We then give them hope in Jesus and guide them through the heartache they are suffering with prayer and encouragement.

Room 4 Hope has been a living testimony for me personally … It has been a continual source of GOD’S HOPE demonstrated through the lives of the women who attend, HIS answers to prayers, HIS Word and Promises,  HIS love and compassion lived out by the words and actions of women who care about our community and each other.  The friends I have made encourage and inspire me to reach our world for Christ in tangible ways...bringing HIS HOPE to others.  My faith has been strengthened and my life enriched.

Our clients are living a lifestyle that was once a lifestyle I lived. It was Jesus that delivered me and gave me a new beautiful life. Room 4 Hope gives me an opportunity to be an example of Jesus and help women find their own beautiful life.

Karen Swanson

Board Member/Mentor

Karen has been a Mentor with Room 4 Hope for 3 years. She has previous experience with Bible Study Fellowship as a Teaching Leader. Karen is also an Israel tour leader with Hearts for Israel Tours. After retiring from teaching BSF, God made very clear He was repurposing her and calling her to be a mentor, and then very specifically to Room 4 Hope.

Karen states: My deepest desire is to serve Jesus wherever He calls. Mentoring the women on Monday evenings at community corrections is rewarding, and humbling. There is nothing that thrills me more than to see the women come to saving faith in Jesus Christ. The opportunities to pray for, love, know, and interact with these women has deepened my own faith as I witness how God the Father rescues, loves, and strengthens them. Their response to Jesus in our weekly Bible study meetings is transformational. Serving in Room 4 Hope is deeply satisfying to me.

Two and a half years ago, when a friend suggested I come to Room 4 Hope for Bible teaching, I had no idea what an amazing experience and many blessings I would have. We laugh, talk, pray and sometimes cry together. We are all growing and learning to love Jesus more! This is a great support group. I recommend this group to any woman who is looking for practical, everyday instruction and support from the original help book – the Bible.

Natalie Eckelman

Board member/Mentor

Room 4 Hope is very thankful to have Natalie on our board. In addition to serving in the Air National Guard, she was a teacher at various schools. Natalie states the following “God drew me to Room 4 Hope through a friend’s encouragement a couple of years ago. I am so glad that He did! Meeting women at the Larimer County halfway house and in the Loveland group that are hungering for God and His word is truly refreshing! It’s simply an act of sharing what I have been given in Christ - a new life, hope for the future, and the security of knowing that I am deeply loved. That's my hope for each and every lady that we meet. We love because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19
