This week, we dedicated and closed homes for three partner families. The mix of joy, excitement and tears reminds me of how blessed we are to be working with people of faith and hope as we lift families out of the cycle of poverty. One family member tearfully told us, “I am the first person in our family ever to own a home.” Another noted, “The breakfast bar/island in my new kitchen is as big as my entire old kitchen. I can now open my oven all the way.”
Those three families mark the 7th, 8th and 9th we’ve served in fiscal year 2010 (July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010). That’s two more than our affiliate has ever served in any given year. Thanks to all of you for being a part of this ministry of love, hope and action in Jesus’ name. As we look ahead to our next year with four projects already underway, let us remember these images and give thanks to God for the opportunity and ability to serve these families and many more in the future.
