It’s that amazing time of year again when we celebrate Christmas. We will be having our annual Christmas Blessing on December 19th. Check out our Christmas Blessing page for more info.
We are looking for volunteers and gifts for the kids. This year we have an Amazon gift list to make it a little easier for those that give. Merry Christmas!! AMAZON LIST
Here is a video from our Christmas Blessing 2014
We posted pictures a few weeks ago of Ricky who lives here at the Recuperative Care House, getting baptized. He was being treated for stage 4 lung cancer.
Well he went to the Dr today and he is in remission and they stopped his chemo!
Thank you for your prayers. We are thanking and praising God!
Tuesday night we rejoiced with Ricky, from the Recuperative Care House. He said he wanted to give his life to Christ and be baptized.
And according to Ricky “Today is the best day of my life”
We ask for prayer for Ricky as he has Stage 4 Lung cancer and is undergoing treatment.
On Monday afternoons we give food away at an apartment building a few blocks from our community.
We have been blessed to be touching the folks there for a long while. We used to deliver groceries to several of them, but the Lord opened the door for us to have a weekly food distribution in the courtyard. We have built a great relationship with the manager, and many of the kids who live in the building attend our weekly Kids’ Club.
“..no one who runs to Him loses out.” Psalm 34:22
Another summer, getting ready for about 40 kids to come for the month of July… Time to get new crayons(the old ones are small and worn), saving lots of cereal boxes, planning crafts, songs, games….
Every year we offer Kid’s Camp free of charge for their families… We serve them breakfast, lunch, and 2 snacks Monday through Friday along with crafts, games, sports, art, scripture, coloring, playing, and so much more… We have a great team of volunteers who make it happen, and who love on the kids and take care of them.
If anyone would like to help sponsor an activity, a craft, or a meal…. For example, you could sponsor a Pizza Party, which would be about 15 pizzas or so, for $75…. Or someone could buy a couple brand new boxes of crayons…. Or $40 for the supplies for a really great craft….. Or you could help us stock up on a bunch of water balloons… Or a big trip to the movies 🙂
If you’re interested in sponsoring, please contact Heather Wilson at dhrljwilson@cox.net
Thank you so much!
And thank you to all those who have already volunteered and those who have given to our Kid’s Camps,….. you have truly blessed these kids!!
Please be in prayer for our upcoming Summer Kid’s Camp…. Pray for the kids hearts, our leaders, volunteers, for supplies needed, donations….
Every year we pray the kids and their families continue to have their lives touched and changed by the love of Jesus….
More details coming soon…..
Here are some photos from our 15th Annual Christmas Blessing!! So many people gave of their time, talent, money, hard work, donations, hugs and lots of LOVE!! We were able to bless so many children with gifts, and their families with groceries, clothes, etc… Again, thank you to all who gave and volunteered!
Can’t wait for this year’s blessing!!! Only 8 more months!!
Since August of last year we have been working with UCSD Medical Center to become a Recuperative Care site. We will be housing Homeless men who have had surgery and need a place to recuperate and not be on the street, which causes them to end up back in the hospital. They will be with us from 2 weeks to 3 months, giving us opportunity to minister and care for them, build relationships and help connect them with permanent housing. We were approved on Friday and have recently done assessments of two patients. One is now living here with us.
We want to continue to care for those who are in need…
Please keep us in your prayers as we move forward following God’s leading.
