This is by no means a new story.  It has been told many times in many different scenarios and  is extremely appropriate as we strive to generate the momentum Bridges to Home was experiencing before our operations came to a screeching halt due to COVID-19.   "This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.   There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.   Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.  Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.  Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job.   Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.  It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done."  

There are many tasks associated with the successful operation of the Bridges to Home Ministry.   We seek people who can contact vendors to ask for donations or lower prices for furniture we purchase frequently, people who  are in positions to donate funds in any amount to maintain the ministry's ability to purchase basic items to fulfill our clients' needs lists,  people who can organize furniture and miscellaneous donations offered to the ministry,  people who are prayer warriors-praying for the safety, wisdom, strength, and faithfulness to fulfill the mission of the ministry,  people who can write these blogs to disseminate information to members desiring to stay informed of the ministry's progress and activities,  people who are heavy and light lifters who can join the move-in teams, and many other tasks with no obligation to serve at any time other than when it is convenient for you.  I promise!  We have accomplished 2 moves since being allowed to operate again, and the teams have been smaller than desired considering the safety of those who volunteered.   Please discern if the Holy Spirit is nudging you to use the God-given talents you possess to join this most worthwhile cause.

On Saturday, June 26th, a small group of loyal volunteers traveled to Murrieta where Robert, a Navy veteran,  was waiting to receive the household items he needed.   Robert moved to Murrieta to be close to his 6-year-old son who continues to recover from a kidney transplant in May 2021.  Please enjoy the pictures below by clicking on the arrow on the right side of the screen.
