It has been exciting to watch God move in our community and see people responding and reaching out to those who are in need. We launched Deeds 4 Needs a couple months ago and things moved pretty slowly until the past couple weeks. We have received numerous needs- - -which we expected- - - and we have also had a lot of people volunteering to fill needs!! It is so neat to see the two come together. We are so very grateful to all of the people who are showing Christ's love by helping those in need! A few examples of needs that have been filled are:
1. A man getting his house cleaned out to avoid evictions
2. Disabled woman getting her house unpacked
3. Numerous furniture items donated
4. Services for an autistic child
5. Numerous financial donations for Boys & Girls Club & West Side Community Center
We are excited to enroll 11 children into Kumon, who otherwise would not have been able to afford it. A big thanks to Sung Park and Kumon who gave us a reduced rate and also to the West Side Community Center for paying for half the tuition for all kids enrolled. It is awesome to see people and organizations partnering together for the benefit of families and children.
We are also very grateful for our home church, Grace Community, and all of the support that they have provided to us. Our desire is to partner with more and more churches in the community in order to multiply the effect by uniting numerous churches under one cause - - -helping those in need and making a lasting impact in the lives of those we serve. All of this done for the glory of God and for growing His Kingdom!!
A big THANK YOU to everyone who has partnered with us!! We thank God for you!!
