Today I toured a facility my friend Krissy Todd has been envisioning for a few years now. The 7 acre property will be transformed into a Village of Hope. We plan to be there with a satellite office as we start to expand outside our 4 walls and offer not only more locations but more services as well.
In difficult times, we often get down and depressed. The media paints a picture of gloom and doom. We find ourselves being caught up in the frenzy of negativity. In all of this, God is still in control. He knows what the outcome of everything that is going on is. We just need to lean on Him and pray for His guidance.
One of the things I love most about Christian HELP is that we truly try to offer Hope and Encouragement. It is not enough for us just to give a job lead and feed someone physically. We try to offer spiritual guidance when needed or prayer if it is accepted. We would never turn anyone away because they are not Christian or do not want prayer, but we do want to offer it when we can.
A man came in recently who had sent out over 2,000 resumes and heard nothing back. One of our counselors prayed with him and offered words of encouragement. Soon after he had a job offer. I believe that God orchestrates even the little things and this was one of them.
Our future job fairs will have more resources for people to help them with their needs. We are now offering training and employment seminars. We continue to seek out partners who have offerings we do not. Most of all, we want to offer HOPE.
