Coming
soon on our www site http://www.hopecity.org
live audio/video streaming! House
of Hope will be going live soon, with radio/tv.
We will use the internet to broadcast teachings, play Christian music,
and more. We will make an
announcement when it is running.
We
were given a new
freezer 2 weeks ago, thank you Lord for the gift.
We can now store more frozen
foods before we distribute to families at the food site.
This
week we were given 42 Jennie-o turkeys for our Saturday outreach.
With the turkeys, wonderful produce, and other groceries, we gave out
about 3000 pounds of groceries to needy families.
A
special thanks goes out to Deforest High School for the food and clothes
drive they did.
They filled our big truck with clothes, food, and new & used
toys.
Also,
we would like to thank Women’s Aglow in Janesville for their support, and
donations. They have given us a
full size van load of clothing and food! The
food and clothing they gave us will most likely be distributed during the next 2
Saturday outreaches.
We
wish to start another food site soon, and are praying it in.
Our next location will be in the Allied Drive area.
If you have that area on your heart, and would like to help, please let
us know. We are thankful for all
the prayer warriors that have covered that land, in His name!
The
local Toys for Tots will be providing us with an abundance of toys to give out
for Christmas, and we will be giving them out this weekend, and next. If
you are interested in assisting in this giveaway, please contact Brenda@hopecity.org
or 608 268-3333.
The
local Family Video Stores have joined up with us for next weekend to give away
60 turkeys. Their employees will be
there to hand them out. WOW, how
awesome, we wont even have to haul them. : )
If you think about 60 turkeys, it is a lot of weight.
Praise the Lord!
In
a nutshell, the Lord is providing in abundance. I have never seen so much food, and abundance in all my
life. Our family has little money
right now, however; we are seeing His abundant provision.
You
should see it; it is awesome! The
people who get the food are beautiful; the children’s smiles are so large I
want to cry. The ones who speak
Asian and Spanish languages are becoming understandable...communication is
beginning to take place with them. The
Holy Spirit is breaking down the walls of communication through His Love!
Some
of the people being ministered to have started going to church, have received
the Lord, and have received prayer. Open
doors for prayer onsite are continuing, however; please pray the Holy Spirit
opens more.
God
continues to provide for every need of this ministry.
Please
continue to pray for us.
