Jeremiah 2911: A Place of Hope was born out of a season of deep pain, surrender, and redemption of our Founder, Audrey Wilkes. What began as a personal journey through loss, rebuilding, and learning to trust God again has become a ministry dedicated to helping others do the same.

In my own walk, I discovered that healing rarely comes in a straight line. It comes in moments—small steps, brave choices, and divine appointments that remind us God is still working even when life feels overwhelming. Through adversity, I learned the truth of Jeremiah 29:11: God still has plans for us—plans to give us hope and a future. Through divorce, grief, heartache, loneliness, and emptiness, I learned that God was always a source of strength that I had to tap into.

From that promise, this ministry was formed. Today, Jeremiah 2911: A Place of Hope walks beside individuals and families facing crisis, transition, trauma, and brokenness. We offer encouragement, faith-based guidance, life-coaching, crisis support, parent education, and restorative services to help people reclaim their stories.

Our heart is simple:
To be a safe place where people can come as they are—and leave knowing they are loved, supported, and never alone.

About Our Founder

My name is Audrey Wilkes, and my life has been shaped by resilience, restoration, and the unmistakable fingerprint of God’s grace. I am a mother, a grandmother, a survivor, a servant-leader, and a woman who has learned—sometimes through painful seasons—that hope is not just an emotion. Hope is a lifeline.

I grew up knowing responsibility early and learning to navigate life on my own strength. But life has a way of leading us into moments we never expected. For me, those moments came through loss, trauma, the unraveling of a marriage, and the heartbreaking separation from a life I once knew. The next few years tested the very core of my identity. I reached a point where I had to decide whether I would be defined by the pain or whether I would rise from it.

In that turning point, God met me.
Not in the absence of brokenness—but in the middle of it.

Through counseling, prayer, community support, and a slow rebuilding of my sense of worth, I discovered one powerful truth: healing is possible, and no one should have to walk through it alone. That truth became the foundation not just of my recovery, but of my calling.

As I stepped deeper into my own healing, I felt God nudging me toward serving others. I pursued training, certification, and education—eventually becoming a life coach, a parent educator, and a community advocate. These roles allowed me to support individuals and families walking through trauma, crisis, addiction, mental health struggles, and transitions. I saw the power of listening. I saw the impact of presence. I saw how God could turn my pain into purpose.

Out of that purpose, I founded Jeremiah 2911: A Place of Hope, a ministry dedicated to meeting people where they are—with compassion, practical support, and faith-based guidance. My mission is simple: to walk beside individuals and families, offering the tools, encouragement, and stability they need to rebuild their lives. Whether through life coaching, crisis support, community outreach, parent resources, collaboration with schools and coalitions, or mental wellness guidance, I strive to be a steady voice in seasons of chaos.

In the spring of 2025, my husband and I created Broken and Anchored Ministries an extension of our heart to serve others on their journeys through grief, identity struggles, and emotional overwhelm.

My story is not one of perfection.
It is a story of perseverance.
A story of redemption.
A story of choosing hope, even when it felt impossible.

And now, I help others do the same.

If my journey teaches anything, I pray it is this: your story is not over. You can rise. You can heal. And you can walk into the future God has planned for you—one step at a time.
