Quick Updates

Miss Debbie's Front Yard and Path!

Just wanted to take a quick minute to update you all on the happenings the past week or so. A medium-sized group was able to go back to Miss Debbie's last weekend to finish the grunt work of the yard cleanup (everyone says small or large group, but never in the middle, now I know why, there is no good way to say it). We still have a significant amount of debris to haul away, so pray for helping hands to assist taking it all to the dump. It was a huge blessing to see the physical progress, but more importantly we can't wait to spend more time with Miss Debbie to build relationship based on Christ's love for her. Please lift her up as she is working and going back to school to get her GED. Let Christ be revealed in real ways in her life and move her to know Him!

Kitchen at Family Promise

We are still pushing forward with the Family Promise Kitchen rebuild/repair. Just last week, the plumber put some unexpected holes in the wall pushing the timeline back, but it ain't no thang! Hopefully within the month sheetrock, painting and trim will be complete and the ministry will have a fully functional kitchen to help teach basic cooking skills to young mothers! Continue to lift up this ministry and our work there, so that God can be glorified through parents and children seeing His love played out in real ways.

More of the Kitchen!

Please pray that we can seek to be more like Nehemiah and the Israelites back in the day. The work we do is truly for nothing if all of our heart, mind, and soul are not focused on Christ. Pray that we are convicted and challenged daily by the love of Christ!

"So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart." Nehemiah 4:6 

Isaiah 6:8 "Whom shall I send, who will go for us?"

God has truly been blessing the crisis response ministry the past few weeks with the opportunity to serve our neighbors and hopefully share that small glimpse of Christ's love through  physical service and testimony. Take a second and please read and continue to pray about the homeowners we have been able to witness to recently.

Bryce wreckin some trees!

Three weeks ago a trio of misfits from One Harbor spent a day up in Greenville, NC cutting up trees that were hanging over three homes and laying on the properties of Mr. White, Mr Jewell, and Summer Moore's Children Center. These trees were a huge physical burden to our neighbors, and Christ set it up so we could go out a help them a little bit. Each person had a different reaction, but it was perfectly clear that the reason we were there was not of ourselves, but an outpouring of Christ's love for them personally. In the picture to the left is Bryce, a high school senior from Newport. He has been helping us recently as a part of his senior project and it has been a great opportunity to witness to him and hopefully provide insight into Christ and His love through past and present testimony. Please pray for him to know Christ.



Small Part of the Crew w/ Miss Debbie (3rd from the right)

 This weekend, a crew from the Kincer homegroup spent Sunday afternoon cleaning up Miss Debbie's yard. The yard had been in disarray for awhile and Miss Debbie did not have the means physically or financially to do the work. We had the priviledge of spending the day working, grilling out, and loving on Miss Debbie. Please pray she can experience Christ's love in a real way, from God Himself.

Doin work at Miss Debbie's House

We are continuing renovation on the kitchen as Family Promise shelter for women and children every Saturday. Please pray for strength and wisdom in that project and please lift up the ministry there as they touch the lives of countless people daily. Please read and pray for us as we strive to somehow live out what Lecrae talks about in the lyrics below.

I Seen it wit my own two
Theres no way I can show you
A perfectly poverty stricken people with no view
And I bet you can't believe this
They never heard of Jesus

Send Me, I'll Go
Send Me, I'll Go
Send Me, I'll Go
Let Me Go, Let Me Go
