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
