What
a joy it is to be opening our home to the girls that are in need in our own
community.
For
months now Brian and I and the volunteers the Lord sent to us have been working
steadily on getting rooms ready for those in need. We are blessed. As we worked on the remodeling project, I have
often been reminded of how the Lord has gone to prepare a place for us in a heavenly home. I have been praying that God would be listening to the cries of
those girls that are in need and would be answering that call through us.
The phone calls are coming in every day
now. It is so good to say, ”Yes, we have
a room available.” We are in the flurry of interviewing staff, volunteers, and
residents. Our weekend Resident Assistant will be moving in this afternoon. A 15 year old girl will follow right on her heels and tomorrow I have an intake interview with a 17 year old.
Each day is a time to walk
in the power of the Holy Spirit, as God strengthens us for the tasks at hand.
The Lord is teaching us to rest in him as we work for him.
We would love to set up a group of
people who will intercede for the girls and the maternity home. If this is
something that God has placed on your heart, please contact us.
Thank-you to all the wonderful
people who have donated time, money and needed items to the Maternity Home. Please not the change of address below.
