Hello Bridges to Home Ministry Friends:
Happy New Year to you all! I pray the new year holds many new and wonderful opportunities and blessings for each and every one of you. The words to this song always energize me to view all that is going on in the world as God's work is in progress all around us. It reminds us that we must wholeheartedly enter into the power of God, who is moving and changing all of creation in His path, willing us to seek Him and serve Him.
Anytime a heart turns from darkness to light;
Anytime temptation comes and someone stands to fight;
Anytime somebody lives to serve and not be served;
I know God is on the move.
Anytime in weakness someone falls upon their knees;
Or dares to speak the truth that sets men free;
Anytime the choice is made to stand upon the Word;
I know God is on the move.
Anytime the gospel stirs a searching soul,
And someone says, "Send me, here I go";
I know God is on the move in many mighty ways.
Sometimes it doesn't feel mighty when we accomplish the small things He asks us to do each day, but, if we could view the broader picture, we might see the mighty ways God works with what we have to give Him. Your continued faith and support in Bridges to Home has accomplished 244 moves, which have mightily impacted hundreds of adults and children. The ripple affect of these deeds cannot begin to be quantified by us, but it is assuredly vast and unabating. On Janaury 11th, William and Jennifer, who are both military veterans, became part of this wave, and on January 18th, Brian, who served in the Army for 14 years as an Army Ranger, and Lance, who served as a quartermaster in the Navy, were swept up in this tide of revival and restoration. Onward we march, trusting that God will lead us to serve as He wills for His glory and the good of humanity.
Please scroll through the picture gallery to appreciate the moments captured in each move.
This ministry brings hope and love, and displays in tangible ways that God is alive and working in mighty ways in the lives of those served and in those serving. Thanks to Pam, Brian & Della, Bob, 2 anonymous donors, and the Ontario Elks Lodge #1419 for contributing funds that allow all that we do to become a real life experience for those we serve.
The VA has entrusted us with more referrals and we are now scheduling moves into February. Please read the email for details and volunteer to fulfill the mission given to all of us to serve where you are able.
Thank you.
