Family Promise day 5 -- 10-1- 2009

Spaghetti was great last night. I am always amazed at the volume of spaghetti that can be consumed. We made an eighteen quart roaster full and most of it was consumed by our guests and our hosts for the evening and our overnight hosts. The families are a pleasure to work with and it is our prayer that they will focus on their tasks at hand to have success in this program. We had a bible study with one of guests last night and hope that the study will bear fruit for the kingdom of God. Afterall thats why we do these programs to help people find Jesus and make Him the Lord of their lives. Pray for our guests as they struggle with the elements of life that are hindering them at the moment.

Family Pramise Day 4 -- (9-30-09)

We had another great day with the families in the program last night. Some came to bible classes, while others took a walk around the park. One of the ladies in the program has been overwhelmed by the kindness she has been shown. We have followed the model of Jesus, by sheltering, feeding and clothing people in need. These three families have been beaten down by the world and for a week we try to show them there is a different way to live.
Sue Huff was our overnight host last night, despite her many health problems, she insisted on sleeping here last night. She brought Josh along, one of the many foster kids she has helped raise over the years. God is gracious and good.
The week is half over,I may have a bible study with one of the guests tonight, pray for God's word to open up her heart.

Spaghetti dinner tonight.
