Changing to Friday Night

Dear Friends,

We wanted to make everyone aware that we will be changing our weekly time with the kids to Friday nights. We have had many conflicting schedules with our volunteers and it seems that Friday nights works best.

We will be starting a new curriculum from House of Faith Ministries. They write their own curriculum specifically for inner city kids and for children who have never been churched.

Now that are group has become large enough, we will also be breaking up age ranges into a couple different classes so we can become more intimate with the children and give them more attention.

Some of you have expressed interest in volunteering so we wanted to give everyone the option to get involved on Friday nights. We will need teachers, tutors, small groups or families to provide food, bus drivers and nursery care for the babies and toddlers. We would love to have enough volunteers to create a rotating schedule.

If you would like to be involved, please email us at jeff@visiononward.org and let us know what area you would like to serve in.

Thank you,
Jeff Holley

Cheyenne Transitional House


Jeff, Jude, Kevin, Dave and Nate spent a lot of time this week at a house on Cheyenne that we plan to use as a transitional house as soon as we can get it fixed up. This week, the guys put a new roof on it.

We have plans to move a family of 3, a single mom and her two boys, into this house and allow them to live there for one year rent free. We will provide financial counseling, clean up their credit and help them to save money to put down on their own home after the year is up.

Below are some BEFORE pictures of this house. We still have LOTS of work to do so if anyone has remodeling skills, we could use you!
