Two new families were helped last weekend. Thank you to crew members who did a lot of legwork.

“I think I got the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had last night. Thank you so much for the mattress! Who can I write a thank you to?”

“You don’t know how much everything you’ve done has helped me. Thank you.”

Quotes from last weekend. 

 

Please pray for peace, strength and endurance.

Please pray for the doctors that are diagnosing one of our R&R ladies’ health issues. She may have to have surgery to remove cysts and do something to control her back pain. She is worried about how she will be able to make it through the recovery with her kids around (single mom of 5).  

A few others are looking for work.  Please pray that doors will be opening for them and that there remains to be motivation through the process.

What a blast to serve others!  

One of our new referrals needed a couch and we thought we had one being held for us. Turns out it was given away elsewhere-so we had to scramble for a replacement. We checked the internet and a couch and loveseat were just listed as available a half hour before. We inquired and didn’t get a response. In the meantime, the response cards from another church were looked through and there was one  that had a note that they had a couch to donate! The note was made last fall though so it would be a miracle if the family still had it around. Sure enough, it was still around and had been cleaned since!  God had it figured out long ago. 

Here are some quotes from the past 48 hours.  

“I think I got the best night sleep I ever had last night! Thank you so much for the bed! I am getting a new perspective going through this. Thank you for everything you’ve done. I was always the kind of person to help other people but now I need help. Is there someone I can write a thank you note to?

What will this New Year bring to this ministry?  Our prayer is that God will continue to stir the hearts of local congregations to desire to serve people in need on a daily basis.  We pray that we are challenged to meet and accept strangers who are searching for hope and help. May God continue the work He has started…. We also pray that a storage solution will unfold.

A few of our R&R families are still searching for housing and employment. Housing is a major issue! 

We will be helping them move when they are ready.  

Quotes from the past 24 hours… 

“You are the first person I’ve been able to tell and was willing to listen to me”

“Thank you for calling back. I didn’t know anyone else I could talk to…”
