Since our last entry we have become incorporated and the Board has met twice. God has brought together an excellent combination of people to move the ministry forward. Please pray as we search for one more member and an accountant. 

As this has evolved, research continues to be gathered as we meet with other people involved in organizations that help people in need.  We also have been thankful for the transition to the smaller storage area but just found out last week that the building is for sale. Currently, the space is not large enough for our furniture donations. This is another matter of prayer.  We’ll need to be prepared to move on if the building sells and the new owner has plans for it.  The good thing is we have loved the location and agree that staying close to that area is beneficial to the crew.

A woman was moved successfully and efficiently with a great crew of helpers. The whole move the lady said,”thank you so much, thank you so much for helping me”.  Other families have been touched with unconditional love from this ministry the past month. A homeless couple was delivered bikes, food,shoes and basic toiletries and were overwhelmed. A few follow ups since, there was a huge extra thanks for the shoes.  They are currently in a camper and searching for work. A poor financial decision got them in this mess. We received a call from a woman that was helped a while ago who told us “I just want to thank your church. I can’t believe complete strangers would take their time to help me.”  

 

Jesus asked us to help and that’s what this ministry is all about. Obeying. Gal 5:14

Thank you for your support and we surrender the future of R&R to Him who knows, provides and 

loves all!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Today the mention of the word Mother brings many thoughts. R&R has sure met a lot of single mothers who sure appreciate any connection outside the place they live.  Today, please pray for the mothers who struggle daily to meet the needs of their kids. We will be seeing more and more families making tough life choices this year. May God provide the people for this ministry to become the hands and feet of Jesus. To comfort, listen and provide hope!

Thank you to all who pray for the future of this ministry. The non-profit paperwork is underway and we feel that God is showing us and connecting us to people who will be fabulous Board members. We are in the process of meeting people with specific expertise who have shared information with us and are willing to be available for future reference in support of our efforts. Very encouraging. 

We continue to help families as this is going on. One woman desires to go to treatment and we are searching for a good fit. One man was given a bed and the delivery person was drawn to tears as the man was so proud of his horse collection which consisted of 2 horses. One of which has broken legs and he said he was planning to make a stand for it. The man had a mental disability and slept on the floor in someone’s basement room. Bedding is being delivered asap.

Our storage was moved thanks to R&R crew member on the last day of April. What a relief and blessing to have that completed. Thank you for your prayers about this too.

Sure enough!  A larger bed was donated from someone in the community for the tall boy mentioned in the last entry very soon after the request was made.  In fact, the queen bed came with two twins which went to the next family requesting beds that week!  

Beds Beds Beds. We sure take our beds for granted.

Please continue to pray about the “extension” of this ministry. The specific door that seemed to be open a few weeks ago has closed for now but the glimpse of what was seen behind it is leading to more research and has begun the process of becoming a non profit.
