It seems almost impossible to meet these needs, but there is one need that everyone can help meet. Every one that calls is asked if they would be willing to accept a visit from a church in their area. Almost all say yes. This is such a great way to show God’s love in action – to go out to their homes and pray with them.
Special thanks to Brownsville Community Fellowship, Church of the Advent, Christ’s Harbor Church, First Baptist Church Los Fresnos, United In Christ and all Love INC supporters for assistance in meeting the needs of families this past month. We apologize for taking so long in getting this to you, but we sure could use someone in the office to help put this list together – please pray for office volunteers. Please announce the needs listed below to your congregation, put in your bulletin, post on your bulletin board or display electronically prior to your services. As always - thank you, thank you, and thank you for all you do!!
