~ For staff and volunteers to also know God’s rest over the summer months.

~ For the new staff to know God’s wisdom, discernment and peace as they prepare for the new school year to begin.

~ For God to continue leading the people He desires to be a part of this ministry to us to fill the remaining staff and volunteer positions.

~ For financial support to continue to flow at this quieter time of the year, as we still have expenses to cover.


Praise Reports:
~ For the donations and support we continue to receive from our faithful supporters, as well as new supporters who have heard about this ministry.

~ Volunteer needed for art therapy.

~ Volunteer to repair stained glass.

~ Bible Study materials (contact Pam Patterson for details)
~ Sponsor a girl here; we have several girls that come from single parent families that have no money.
~ Provide finances to expand our counseling program. Our goal for 2011 is to open a Christian Biblical-based counseling center that operates on a sliding fee so no one is turned away because of finances. We are looking at renting some space close by so we can have more offices and praying for the funding for the rent and to pay the counselor’s
Bring in your Campbell’s labels and Box Tops for Education - ask family and friends to help as well.
