Dear Team and Parents
Thanksgiving is a great holiday for families to be together, especially when loved ones and close relatives lived in different part of the country or even the world. It make us appreicate who we are in Christ and what it means to be thankful, to be surrendered, to be full of praise of who God is in our lives.
So, with that in mind, majority of our team was able to make it out this past Saturday, 11/22, taking part in a church wide outreach to the low-income and impoverished families through FoodShare.
The lady that 5 of us got to visit, was a grandma that has taken care of 13 grandchildren. The last two still live with her, and one with a baby. The stories that we got to hear about them were daunting, but she said without Christ, I will not be able to face all the challenges I am facing since 86. Her children and grandchildren were on drugs, and some still are, giving birth to grandchildren that are also affected mentally from the abuse of drugs and alcohol. She by God's grace was able to stand firm, continuing steadfastly to extend God's love and word to them. Pray for her youngest grandchild who was gang raped, that she will find complete healing emotionally and physically through Jesus Christ. Pray for their financial situation, they are not able to make ends meet and supporting her 4 month old great-grand baby.
