Special Collection Sunday February 3

This Sunday at Resurrection Church we shall be collecting a special collection for River of Life Homes.  River of Life Homes provides 24-hour hotline crisis, emergency shelter and transitional housing for women and children who are victims of family violence. The agency provides emergency shelter for up to three months, average of 30 days. Upon admittance to the emergency shelter, the client is met by a volunteer and provided with a shelter and program orientation. River of Life Homes provide counseling, personal support services, life planning and education on the cycle of domestic violence and the types of domestic violence. The agency provides transitional housing for up to one year, 6 months average. Transitional housing services are available to women, and their children, who have completed emergency shelter program and need further time to complete their life plan or job training. Transitional housing selection is based on application and qualification requirements, regardless of race, creed, color, religion, national origin or economic status. 

If you have any electronics, tools, or furnishing to donate please call River of Life at:
(214)886-3563.  Contact at River of life is Lovina Iheke.  The website for River of Life can be found here.

River of Life also has a Guide Star review which shows their total collections and their total expenses for the last available tax years.  This is a legitimate charity and has need as you can see.

We ask that you be as generous as you possibly can.  This ministry provides a blessed need for the women and children in our local community.  It also provides our small congregation with an opportunity to minister in ways the Holy Spirit will direct if we are open to His call of service and love.  We ask that you pray for Pastor Rea as he discerns God's call in ministry to the poor and homeless in our area.

In all, may the will of God be done and may we be continually directed in our ministry.
