Why Support This Ministry?

Letty, Encouraged amid Challenges

"Especially now with all the changes and challenges in our lives, your work resounds that God remains as God; inviting us to be in relationship with Him. For me this has been a unique time to reflect on my response to God’s love. I’ve got a lot to work on- to let God work on, or to work with God on. Thank you for being present and working with God."

"This has shown us what Christ can do in different situations. First we have to give all of our being to Christ for him to work through us so that then, we can turn around and be Jesus’ hands and feet to our community."
