I
would like to thank all of those who came to our service at the
house on the 23rd of May. We had an awesome time even though it
was quite warm. We had a small memorial for Pastor Dom and enjoyed
great food and fellowship. Again thank you all.
As we enter into the summer months jobs seem to be more frequent.
Some of our guys are roofing while others are doing some repair,
painting and remodeling. We are also continuing our lawn service.
I have been proud to hear the complements that the guys are getting
because they are doing their work with excellence and pride. I am
proud of each of them.
Please know that as the jobs are increasing they do not sustain
Restoration House. We need your help. I have been here as director
for a year now and God is gracious but we cannot survive without
you. I believe that God is doing an awesome work in these men and
they are worth any investment that you put into this ministry. Also
be aware that all of your investment goes to the operation of Restoration
House and those in need.
We were recently blessed with the opportunity to go and minister
at Stonewall Jackson Juvenile Facility. This was a one time opportunity
for the guys to go. Once a year they open the doors to anyone wanting
to minister to the youth. The men from Restoration House were able
to give their testimonies and let these young adults know that there
is a better way. We were able to minister to one group inside because
it was raining and God really moved. Some of the men gave their
testimony and we did some music. When we were about to close one
of the young men asked if he could close out with prayer. He closed
by thanking God for allowing them to hear from us and he accepted
Christ as his Savior. This young man stood in front of his peers
not caring who saw him and accepted Christ into his life. Praise
God!!!!
Some of the men from Restoration House are traveling with PT1615
Ministries to Missouri. While there they are helping in any area
needed by the people. Please pray for them as they travel. Pastor
Thom said that they are currently traveling one hour to get to their
destination every day. There is not anywhere they can stay that
is closer. They will return home on Thursday the 8th of July. They
will be going to minister and help pass out Back Packs of Hope.
Each pack will have a bible and things that are needed to survive.
We have checked with the Red Cross on the items needed. Please keep
the team in your prayers.
I believe that as we pour Christ into the men at Restoration House,
they can also be effective in ministry by giving to others. This
helps them to know that they are valuable. Through giving they also
receive the blessings of God.
I ask that you please stand with us in the ministry of Christ.
God Bless
Lee
