Honoring the honorable.
Houses set apart for the Veterans and First Responders of the Big Country — and their families — in their own moment of crisis.

We stand for the flag — and for those who served under it.
The second tiny house built at Houses for Healing was purposed for our Veterans. One of the most visible features of our campus is the American flag. We stand for the flag and honor those who have given and sacrificed for the freedom and liberty for which it stands.
Alongside PLH Studios — who have served Veterans for more than 20 years — Houses for Healing honors Veterans in each of the county houses we serve. The Veteran House was fully remodeled in 2025 with new flooring, furnishings, appliances, a mini-split system and an accessible shower.
Will you help us in a noble and honorable effort to serve those who have served?

PLH Studios — Peace, Love & Happiness
From founders Steve Markham, Marya Beauvais and Gary Spellman — with special thanks to John Paul DeJoria, Kevin Sorbo and Drew Pearson.
PLH Studios, LLC is a mission-driven organization with a primary purpose of making the world a better place. Peace, Love and Happiness has been giving back to our nation's Veterans and First Responders for two decades; the Peace, Love and Happiness Charity event celebrated its twentieth anniversary in April 2022. By the grace of God, PLH Studios is building studio homes for homeless Veterans — and is honored to partner with Houses for Healing in Abilene, Arizona and Jerusalem.
They show up for everyone else. This house shows up for them.
In our effort to honor the honorable, Houses for Healing has a First Responder house, built and adopted by Wylie Baptist Church. It's there for First Responders and their families should they find themselves in a medical crisis.
It also serves our First Responders at the scene. Many times, as a result of a tragic incident, one person goes to the hospital and someone else doesn't. Our First Responders of the Big Country can offer that family a free place to stay in Abilene — administering the goodness and kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ right there on the spot. The other nineteen houses stand ready to serve, too.
Will you partner with our First Responders by becoming a Faith Responder?
