About HOPE is Here
HOPE is Here began in December 2017 from a holy discontent that was growing in the heart of founder Greg Horn. Having suffered his own suicidal thoughts in 2001 after a series of tragic events and losing three friends to suicide, Greg felt strongly that he was being called to make a difference. HOPE is Here Ministries was birthed from a desire to shed light on the taboo subject of suicide and to offer hope and encouragement to people who are struggling with dark times. It has broadened its scope to include community involvement, community assistance, counseling and mentoring.

Tammy Lanham, Digital Communications Specialist, Podcast Engineer
Tammy lives on Long Island in New York. Originally born and raised in Virginia, she lived most of her adult life in Kentucky. In 2019, God called her husband, Tommy, to a ministry position on Long Island in New York, just outside of New York City. They moved 800 miles from rural Kentucky to New York with two teenagers, 6 months before a worldwide pandemic shut the doors of the church building they went to serve.
Tammy feels blessed beyond words to join the HOPE is Here team as the Digital Communications Specialist and will be engineering the HOPE is Here Podcast, among other responsibilities.
