The Joseph Storehouse Connects People With Family Support and Hope

Community outreach becomes deeply personal when you meet people like Tom and Kim Westberry, Partners at Kenneth Copeland Ministries. Through The Joseph Storehouse, the Westberrys are showing what can happen when faith is put into action and practical love meets real need.

For many, the desire to make a difference starts with a simple question: Where do I begin? That is where Tom and Kim’s story offers such a clear path. Their testimony is not just about building a ministry. It is about listening to God, seeing the needs before them, and taking one act of obedience at a time.

In 2010, Tom received a call from KCM CEO John Copeland that would help shape the future of their ministry. He invited Tom to visit a ministry in Florida. That ministry had spent about 20 years focused on community outreach and family support, teaching others to stretch their dollars further on a large scale.

What followed was a vision in Tom’s heart for a place that could serve people in practical ways while pointing them to the love of God.

That vision became The Joseph Storehouse, a ministry modeled after the biblical example of Joseph in Genesis 41 and built around sowing and reaping.

Watch Tom and Kim Westberry share their story.

The Joseph Storehouse was founded in 2011 as a nonprofit community outreach and hunger relief organization. Today, it serves families through a model that provides a “hand up” rather than a “hand out.” The ministry offers quality food and household items at greatly reduced cost, helping families preserve dignity while making ends meet.

This is what makes their approach to community outreach so compelling. Kim explains that the goal is not simply to give things away. It is to remind people that God is their true source while also meeting immediate needs in a practical, loving way. That balance of compassion and discipleship is central to everything they do.

The Joseph Storehouse is not only about food on the table. It is about hope for the future, stronger faith, and a new beginning for people who may feel cornered by life.

A Bridge to Renewed Hope

Tom and Kim also understand that lasting change requires more than one good day. Their heart is for discipleship, family support, and long-term transformation. They want to help people move from struggle to stability, from defeat to renewed faith. Sometimes that looks like groceries and household items. Sometimes it looks like prayer, encouragement, or a connection to a local church.

Their ministry serves as a bridge, welcoming people who might never walk into a church on their own and then helping them take the next step. That kind of family support can ripple through an entire community.

The Westberrys commitment to community outreach inspires this simple plan for others who are looking for a place to begin: Start with compassion. Meet practical needs. Point people to Jesus. Keep showing up.

Their example reminds us that helping families does not always begin with a platform or a large organization. Often, it begins with a willing heart. Family support grows when ordinary believers decide to love consistently, serve faithfully, and trust God with the outcome. That is how helping families becomes more than a good intention. It becomes a lifestyle of ministry.

KCM’s partnership has also played an important role in that mission. Tom shared that the support of KCM and Eagle Mountain International Church has meant everything to them spiritually, physically and financially. But at the heart of this story, there is still the same invitation for every believer: There is a place for you in community outreach.

Whether your role is giving, serving, praying, or helping families one household at a time, God can use your “yes.” And as the Westberrys’ story shows, family support rooted in faith can help transform lives for now and point people toward hope that lasts forever.
