Founder and Executive Director of Isaiah 117 House, Ronda Paulson and her team's mission is to change the way foster care begins. In 2014, she and her husband, Corey, went through training to become foster parents. As part of the training, they attended a class which informed them that when children are removed from their homes, they often must come to the DCS office and wait for placement. As Ronda looked around the cubicle-filled space, she couldn't imagine a scared child sitting in such a sterile, cold environment waiting to learn their fate. That is when she believes God put on her heart the Isaiah 117 House. Fast-forward one year to November 5, 2015, when Ronda received a call from the Carter County TN DCS office. Within an hour, Corey and Ronda, along with our two children, Sophie and Mac, were picking up their foster son at the back door of the office. He was dirty, in clothes that were too small, and literally had nothing in the world. This was the second time, she believes, the Lord put on her heart the Isaiah 117 House. We asked the question “What if there was a home where children could go when they are removed?” Isaiah 1:17 says, "defend the cause of the fatherless." Ronda believes that is what God was calling her to do. She saw a home with plentiful space and amenities, and a team of volunteers to greet "the least of these" when they need love most. This was the dream for the Isaiah 117 House in February of 2017.
