I remember telling Chuck Laney, our builder, that I would only go to the building site once a month. It seems like I’m going daily not even weekly to the building site. I love going out there, I stand in awe of what HE is doing. This week we are kicking off a New Series called, “The Journey”. You will not want to miss where we have come from and where we are going.

To think that a handful of people have emerged to become a great force in the KINGDOM, it blows my mind that God would use us. (Bunch of HICKS)

Don’t miss this weekend!!

Our Back to School Event this week has been a very humbling as well as exciting event this year. One of our volunteers shared this story with me and I had to pass it along.

A mother with two children had signed up a couple of months ago to get much needed shoes and clothing for her children. Today the grandmother came with the two children to pick up the items. She was wearing the mother’s name tag so naturally the volunteer addressed  her by the name on her tag. The grandmother said, “No, my name is not…that is my daughter’s name. She died last Monday!” Well you can only imagine how the volunteer felt. She broke down and cried right their with the grandmother. They prayed together and gave some extra food items to them since the grandparents were in their 70s and having a hard time financially. What a tragedy to lose your daughter of 46 years and then to raise her two young children ages 9 and 11 at the age of those two grandparents!

 Our County is full of stories like that. May we always remember, we don’t have to serve the poor, we get to! It is an honor to reach out and help them by demonstrating God’s love in a practical way….with no strings attached!
