Christmas in July and updates

We had a wonderful event on Friday the 18th. It was our 1st annual Christmas in July. Melony McKaye was the mistress of ceremonies, we had wonderful entertainment, and were blessed to have over 100 guests. Metro Life church was a wonderful host.

We are looking forward to being able to bless the community again this Christmas. I know it is early, but we have to plan in advance. Many people are suffering now because of the economy. People I personally know are losing their homes and cars. It is tough out there.

Jobs are harder to come by. Our counselors are working harder than ever. If you love to help people and have the gift of counseling, we could use some help. Employment knowledge is helpful, but the ability to pray with others is a must. Prayer is the first place we need to go in these times.

We know that more people need more help. We pray that those who have are willing to help those who have not. If God has blessed you, please consider us as a place to bless others. $15.00 will feed a family of 4 for a week and $100.00 puts a family on the road to self sufficiency through job counseling, food, and prayer.

Most of all, keep us in prayer and your community in prayer. God Bless-
