Thanks to everyone who prayed for me during my surgery and recovery. I am healing and really appreciate the kindness and generosity that has been poured out by so many. The body of Christ is amazing!!!! Thank You

Partners Invited

Now that the house is done and the staff has been hired the dream of serving women leaving the adult entertainment industry is quickly approaching. We are 27 days away from opening the ministry doors. Wow! It is hard to believe all that God has done in making this a reality. Thank you so much for everyone that has come alongside this ministry. People are still asking what they can do to help. A significant way to be involved in the coming days is becoming a regular financial contributor.
A goal that I have set between now and the end of the year is adding 300 new regular contributors. You will see on the website that there is an option for giving 10 dollars and up. There is no gift too small because God is in the miracle grow business and has a way of exponentially multiplying faithfulness and obedience. We need $14,666.00 a month or $488.00 a day to provide this opportunity to the guests that God is sending to us. Over the next 27 days would you consider partnering with us so that money is never a concern for the women while they are with us. We appreciate you and your prayers. Lives will be transformed as a result of your involvement. www.refugeforwomen.org/donate.html

Enjoying the journey,

2 Corinthians 9:8

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Special Children

We went to the Legends game the other night and because of the weather were only a handful of folks in attendance. Due to the few number of children our kids were given the opportunity to participate in activities between innings. Julianna was invited to go out on the field and announce players and the winner of the competition would go to the press box and announce for an inning. Julianna won the contest beating out 2 little boys and we went to the box and she was handed the microphone. She did awesome and her mother cheered the entire inning for her. :) Nathaniel was asked to help pariticpate in keeping Earth clean by putting on the sanitation clothes and walking around with a garbage bag picking up trash. They had lots of fun and Julianna was given a certficate for us to stay at the Ramada for a night and Nathaniel won a baseball. Lots of Fun!!!!

Gardening For Dummies

i have learned the secret to a great garden. Ask your neighbor if they would be willing to care for it and then share the vegetables. I went out tonight to look at the garden and saw life coming forth from the ground. I hate to seem so shocked but i havent used the words garden and life much in the same sentence. The only harvest I got from my garden last year was a couple of radishes, nothing else survived my tender loving care. :)
My neighbor has dug up the dirt, lined off spaces to mark different vegetables, and today added a small fence around it to protect it from animals. AMAZING!!!! IT LOOKS AWESOME!!!

Worship

15 minutes before worship was to begin around the bonfire Saturday night the rain started to fall. We moved the prayer and worship into the farmhouse and never missed a beat. Thanks to the 30-40 people that made the night an awesome atmosphere. The presence of the Lord was with us as He shows up where worshippers are gathered. We prayed throughout the house and called upon Him as the hope for lives to be changed. Thanks to Heather Summers and Kurt Vernon for leading us before the throne. May this be the first of many more hours of prayer and worship to ring from that old house.
