Our Impact

Jeff and Chrissy Lucas purchased a beautiful, wooded property in the quiet suburbs of the Twin Cities, in Jordan, Minnesota. They bought the home praying that it could bless other people, with a desire for it to be used for God’s kingdom. Exactly what it was going to be used for was unknown, except that they knew they wanted people to EXPERIENCE the love and healing power of Jesus like they had in their own lives. At the time, Chrissy was a hospice RN. After battling a debilitating fear of death herself, she had discovered that what was once her greatest fear had become her greatest passion. She and Jeff also valued time together, and prioritizing and caring for their family at home.

God honored the desires of their hearts by birthing a healing ministry with special attention toward end of life care, that is now called The Upper Room Ministry. Not only is the physical space located next door to their home, but it is something they have been able to do together, along with new friends that became family and their children too. The ministry is very family oriented, with a belief that children play a huge role in the kingdom of God. The Upper Room Ministry is currently evolving, yet blessing those in need in the process. The Upper Room team is very excited for this story to continue to unfold with a hope for more people to get involved and be impacted. Including the generations to come!
