As a\u00a0ministry of Faith Church, we have the unique opportunity of serving alongside many other ministries on our campus. From serving in the upkeep of\u00a0the Community Center and Christian School, to setting up the Faith Church auditorium after Sunday services, our staff and residents are able to take part in the many ministries around us.<\/p>\n

One of the exciting\u00a0ministries we are able to be in charge of is the Safe Haven home. Safe Haven is a one-family transitional housing home\u00a0for those who have lost their home in a natural disaster, are fleeing domestic violence, or have otherwise been displaced from their home. Since opening, we have seen many families come through Safe Haven, and have had opportunities to share Christ with those in our community who are hurting. Safe Haven is rarely unoccupied, and we are so thankful that we are able to help with this huge need in our community.<\/p>\n

We are so\u00a0excited to be a part of the Safe Haven home. We always appreciate prayer for our staff, as we seek to reach out and serve, provide for, and love our guests with excellence. Please also pray for those who will be staying in Safe Haven in the future, that they will be encouraged and see the love of Christ shine through our staff and others they will interact with on our campus.<\/p>\n

Praise God for opportunities to show His grace by providing for these many needs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
