MERRY HEARTS

Another year of "Merry Hearts" outreach. This is our second year of partnering with several individuals that help make some "merry hearts". The year we prayed and asked God to multiply our time and resources and it was amazing to see Him do just that. We were able to bless "65" women and children with christmas presents. This included the women and children at Youth with a Mission shelter. (This shelter operates solely on faith and houses women and children of all ages.) Also were a couple single mom's with six and seven children. You can not even begin to imagine what a blessing it was to see them get clothes, shoes and toys for their children. Nobody but God can make that happen!

We also handed out "shoeboxes" to the homeless with a special Christmas flair. It is amazing to see such generosity from our friends to help the poor and needy. These shoeboxes are filled with all sorts of essentials for someone on the streets.
