Last week we had one of the most amazing grocery assistance weeks ever.
On a schedule with 32 appointments we usually have a minimum of 8 no shows. Last week we only had 5 no shows and were able to provide food for more than 80 individuals.
Pier Clothing
Last Saturday we had our big clothing blow out with more than 70 people receiving
brand new clothes from us. We had a GREAT
team of 10 volunteers who helped with security and getting as many clothes as possible to as many people as possible. I think for all of us it was the highlight of our week.
Here you see Alice and me in a picture. She is one of our clients who's been coming to the Pier for over a year now.
The rest of my life…
I’ve finally started to help out once a week at the Boys and Girls Club in our neighborhood. On my first day I even got to lead the hockey game for the young ones, who in turn challenged to play me in carpet bowling for candy… In the end I lost all the candy I had, but it took them a little while… Who knew I would rock at carpet bowling?
In the future I will continue to help out once a week, but I will get to work with the teens, which I am very much looking forward to.
I hope to do team building exercises with them, similar to the stuff I used to help with at YFC in Darwin.
My Car….
The great news is that I have $530 towards a car in my newly established car fund. If you would like to give towards a car, please attach a note, saying it’s for the car.
If you know of a car WITH air conditioning, please let me know! :)
Good news…
During the summer I will be receiving about $100 support a month more than usual! This is such an answer to prayer!
No one in YWAM receives a salary and we all raise our own funds to do the work we feel God has called us to. If you would like to be part of my support team (presently I still need $250 more a month to meet my budget) please contact me.
If you would like to help with practical needs, the 2 very real needs at the moment are a new laptop and a car with A/C.
In May I celebrated Thanksgiving with friends who needed space in their freezer. :)
In this picture you see the amazing spread we had...
