We have so many things to be thankful for here at Shores of Grace. After a long time of building relationships at Street Church and with our Father’s Love ministry, we are now seeing greater fruits. With house visits and discipleship meetings with individuals and family, our goal has been to invest in the lives of those we serve. We are thankful for a great team and all the new staff members in all of our ministries.
In Philadelphia, we have been seeing a great outpouring of love. We have found new ways to invest in the local church, blessing the homeless and the people at the epicenter of the heroin epidemic in the city as well as continuously equipping the youth.
We’re also seeing great things happening in the communities we serve in Recife. Every time the children and teenagers come to our Tuesday discipleship nights, we see them grow and learn about who God is and who they are in Him.
In addition to that, there have been many amazing blessings at Bethany Villa. For example, the reading skills of one of our girls have improved so much through intensive mentoring and professional help that she is now able to read and write like any of the other girls her age. The girls are not only growing academically but also spiritually. Every Friday, during our encounter nights with the girls at Bethany, we have seen incredible God moments where the Lord touched their hearts to encourage and prophesy over one another. On top of that, two of our baby girls have been adopted! We are so thankful that one of our girls could celebrate her first birthday with her new family.
Finally, we are thankful for every single one of you and for being part of this incredible journey! We could not do this without your prayers and your support.
