The Family Promise Program continues to be a blessing. Debbie Scott and her son Joesph spent the night last night as our "hosts". Just three years ago we met Deb and family on the steps of the Police Building. They had run out of options, no car, no place to live, no family close by and the money from her income tax check was about gone. MPD assigned me the task of "moving her" before they moved her. Through a year long process Deb was able to get a place to live on Roselawn Ave. They have moved three times since then, each time the place has been a little bit better. What a blessing to see Deb and her family now ministering to our guests in FP. Deb brings a lot of knowledge concerning the social-welfare programs available for single women with children. It is a joy to watch the single mothers talking to her while she educates them on various aspects of life. Additionally, Deb is scheduled to start at Stan. State in the fall. Pray for her as she seeks to find a career that will allow her to help people who have fallen on hard times and need a hand up. Pray for the three familes we are ministering to this week. One family is a week out from having a place to live, they are excited about this new start. They will be attending church with us this weekend, I pray for God to give me the words they need to hear.
I will update you later as the week continues. . .
Go make a difference for God!
