A Note From Tracy Hipps

The Lord's Prayer
Matt 6:10 Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

God is so amazing to listen to prayers offered up to Him on behalf of others. I have seen amazing things happen for those we term " the least of these".  For the last 13 years, I have had the opportunity to mobilize hundreds of churches to serve people that have great needs. I have seen the power of God move in people's hearts to extend their gifts of time, talent, and resources to help those in need. Many of you have been a part of those projects that lead to a lasting relationship for all involved. We call them Grace Makeovers and I am so excited to see the hand of God moving again and again. This month we have seen families moved to help and share with others in need through our Housing Ministry.

Wells Fargo gave us a house and now we have a family that needs a place to live while we build them a new one with one of our partners. The family has been living in the home with a tree that had fallen on it during the 2011 tornadoes. They were hopeless but kept praying that God would send help. They had a house and God has made a way for all of this to happen and now churches are stepping up to make this house a home. We sat with this family and their pastor a few weeks ago and God is using this in the life of their church.  God is still in the miracle business and we get to see and experience it firsthand when we serve the least of these.  Come join in on the fun and see lives changed through housing.
