Family in Need

Just a quick little update on the family in need. The children are just adorable, cute as they can possibly be. The father is doing what he believes is best for them, and we are trying to come along beside him, speaking wisdom and truth into his life with hopes that God will use us in this situation. Please pray for this father's wisdom. We so much desire that he would come to Christ, and that he would receive the help and advice to change some of the circumstances in his life. Pray for us to have wisdom as to how to best help and minister in the situation. Pray for the children that God's hand will be upon them in a special way. We also need continued prayer that God will help Paul and I to remember that God sees the bigger picture, and the little steps along the way that can be somewhat overwhelming are just part of a bigger plan. What happens today is not the end of the story, and we have to trust Him every step remembering that He cares more about this situation than we can comprehend. This prayer is really more for me, as Paul speaks this truth in my life daily. Thanks to all that have taken a special interest in this situation. ~Charity

Great Need

Last night at Food for Life we met three adorable children. The father has come many times before, and he asked Paul to pray that he would be reunited with his family, but it didn't work out like he had hoped. The mother moved back in with him and brought the children, and then she left them all there. They have almost nothing, but he says he does have a job and a place to live, probably an apartment. Food for Life will be collecting items to help this man with his children.
They have one bed, but they need more beds for the three children. The children are ages 2 (girl), 4 (boy), and 7 (boy). There is a need for all household items and furniture, diapers, and clothes. There may be a great need for babysitting, but Paul and I are going to try to go see where he is living and assess the situation better tomorrow night.
Please drop off any donations at Streetside Catering, 5010 Old Spartanburg Rd. Taylors, SC. Streetside is located across the street from Brushy Creek Baptist Church.
