How We Help PDF Print E-mail

We serve about 1350 meals per month. Give Bible training around 40 people per week. Offer booster classes and monitor their school performance to 70 kids. Support around 200 kids per year with school supplies. And provide food to 1500 people every year at Christmas.

We have been able to successfully do all of the above with the help of volunteers and many missionary organizations that are committed to help the less fortunate.

It is wonderful to say that at every meeting we continue to witness how God works in so many wonderful ways on the people we serve and, as we do it, God continues to also shape our lives and characters to make us more sensitive to people's needs and to be better servants.
