Heather Dixon is a devoted wife, mother and woman of God. She is an active volunteer in Fort Worth for other outreach organizations, her church home and in her kiddo’s schools.

She began working full-time with the homeless in 2010, while attending college to obtain her degree in drug and alcohol counseling. During that time, her volunteer efforts went from ten hours a week to forty plus hours weekly. She felt a calling to front-line ministry working with people feeling broken. Those hidden in the woods, those not often seen. Her connection with people living with hopelessness and emotional trauma stemmed from her past which included several years of childhood abuse and neglect, parental drug and alcohol addiction, being a runaway teen; then her personal drug addiction, being in and out of jail ending with 4 felonies by 20 years old, homelessness and more.

Heather Dixon’s heart for the homeless, needy, broken, neglected and/or forgotten is centered on pouring Christ, love and hope into them. She desires to walk life with them as a reliable friend. To remind them kindness and good in humanity still exist. To show them life is worth living. To speak truth into them while showing them that God does see and love them. And helping them connect with God and His abundant love for them!

“I will not forget where I came from, though I don’t like to think back into the details. But because of where I have been, it allows me to love our homeless population with overwhelming depth and strength. I will love them where they are at. I will care for them. I will fight for them. I will try to be their voice. I will walk life with them vs passing off reference cards. The passion I have for them, and anyone in need that the Lord puts before me, is God-given, and pulls from my history. I am not going anywhere, and I truly thank EACH OF YOU who believes in me, believes in our mission, and supports us to care for our homeless community. 

I thank God daily for not throwing me away. For continuing to drop people in my path to show me how to draw close to Him. I am beyond blessed that I surrendered my whole life to God in 2013.  I am healed. I am whole. I am a daughter of the most high. I have one of the best assignments for His Kingdom and I want to pour all of this out to those feeling unseen.”
