Hope Canyon is a place for single parents to get on their feet, and get off government assistance. We’re located in Dublin, Texas, near Stephenville.
Single parents are in a desperate situation. They’re trying to raise a child or children while working all sorts of hours to provide food, clothing, and shelter. The stress is unbelievable. The possibility for self-advancement slim. Help is required.
What’s the problem?
There are multiple ways. We can fix a leaky faucet, get some groceries, watch kids, all sorts of things. Our main goal, however, is to build a facility where work, school, community, and play are all on one campus. In this way, we save gas, money, and our sanity.
How does Hope Canyon help?
Are you asking for donations? If not, how will you do this?
No, we aren’t asking for donations!
Rather, I want you to do business with me at Bartige Mann (BAR-tuh-zshay MAN). That is my software and consulting company. Our main product is for subcontractors, and it’s called Sub’s Toolbox. We believe that doing business in the marketplace is the sustainable way to keep doing what we do. Some people buy airplanes, boats, houses, or vacations (and those are all good - just ask the people who make a living providing them!). We’ve simply decided to forgo what we could do to take care of what we feel we should do.
We’re not looking for some feel-good project. I think this is the future of social supply. It is possible to live in a way that takes care of myself, my family, and those in need. My sole aim is to show one way of doing that, by God’s grace.
I look forward to doing business with you!

Welcome!

We’re planning on having a combination of farms, marketplaces, eateries, and resort facilities. The vision is to create a man-made tropical mountain with multiple facilities inside. We want to utilize state of the art green construction to build it, and sustainable agriculture to run it. People from around the world will visit this community to see just how efficient a city can be.
What will the campus be like?
My personal motivation is to serve God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. In the book of James, it says that real “religion” is taking care of widows and orphans in their time of need. More than that, I’ve seen the plight of the single parent first hand. That is enough to bring compassion into action, at least for me.
What’s your motivation?
FROM CHAOS TO CONTENTMENT THROUGH COURAGE AND COMMUNITY.
