Pastor Cope founded Homesafe Ministries, in 2003. Gospel Song writing has been a passion of Pastor Ricky's for over 20 years, so after the request of a mother of a solider fighting in Iraq, he wrote the song "Home Safe" . The events that would take place, after that would birth this ministry, to encourage all of our men and women serving in the U.S. Military at home and around the world. Pastor Ricky considers it the highest honor and privilege to give back to those who are and have given it all for our Nation's Freedom and Security. He is ask to speak and sing on many occasions for the families and the troops each year as God allows him.
