Merry Christmas!
We pray you are EXCITED for this season to be here, and are looking forward to spending it with your family and friends. We find that there is great opportunity at this time of year to go and show the love and hope of Jesus to someone! To GOD be the glory!
We want to stop and take a moment, as we try to do every year, and thank ALL of our faithful supporters who have been so very gracious to us over the years. Some of you have supported us every month from the very beginning of this ministry, back in 2005. We are so very humbled…. AND we are so very grateful! We could never in a million years tell you how much we have appreciated your partnership and friendship…every single one of you! So, THANK YOU from the bottom of our heart! You have enabled us to help thousands of people over the years with spiritual, emotional and physical needs. We absolutely could not have done it without you all!
So now, the report for November…WOW! We had an incredible month! With your help we were able to go twice to Fountain, FL, which is NE of Panama City, and take food and supplies to them. They were right in the path of Hurricane Michael, and their town was hit very hard. We found them by asking a state patrolman on the highway, “What was the area he had seen that needed the most help”? Fountain is what he told us, so off we went.
We found a little Community Center back off the main road, on a little dirt road, where they were taking care of their own community’s needs. They had started bringing in supplies and were feeding, clothing and helping the people there as best they could. Just about every house and tree had damage, or was destroyed. The ones that didn’t have damage told us it was only because they had prayed through the whole thing… (Imagine that! 😊) An older fellow there told us that, “This wasn’t a hurricane, but a 60 mile wide tornado”. He said he had seen many storms, but nothing that even compared to this one. Some of the people are still in tents as we speak.
So, if you would like to help out, they desperately need blankets and sleeping bags. You can send packages to: Green Hills Community Center, 17913 Park Place Rd., Fountain, FL 32438 Thank you!
We also are still in need of some funds for our Christmas Blessing outreach to finish up the year. Any little bit helps! 😊 Click here to donate.
Our trip to Dixon Prison in Louisiana was also amazing. Seven souls entered the kingdom of God and six of them were baptized while we were there. Two of them were youthful offenders! They always capture my heart as I look on their young and sad faces. But, God has them there for a reason. This, oh yes, we know! Ken will be going again to Angola after Christmas with the team. They’ll visit death row, the hospital and hospice patients. It is always a sobering, yet gratifying experience.
We pray all of you will have a joyful time remembering the reason for the season…
JESUS!! Merry Christmas friends…
Love,
Ken and Cindy
