Community impact happens in so many ways through House of Faith. One of the amazing ways that we believe God has called us to have a large and strong Community Impact is by removing barriers that prevent families from the opportunity to be involved. We see this in our ability to provide free programs, food and transportation. We are so grateful to the Lord for His provision through His people that makes this possible.
We believe that removing the barrier of cost allows any student and family to come and enjoy our after school and family outreach programs. We are so grateful to be able to provide snacks and a meal, and we are grateful for our fleet of vans and buses that transport kids each week. I was touched deeply that out of 292 people that went to our recent Family Camp, 170 of those people requested to ride with us on our vans to camp and back. The massive role you play as a supporter of House of Faith allows us, together, to have the ability to remove these barriers that might prevent people from hearing the life-changing message of hope found in Jesus. The amazing thing is that the removal of these barriers goes so much deeper than just a free program or a free ride.
I was struck again this week, as I sat in my House of Faith van waiting for the “thumbs up” to depart to take kids home after our 321 Youth program. I looked to my left at the kids sitting waiting in the van next to me, and my heart was full, yet again, that God allows us to provide transportation and door-to-door service for our students and their families. I turned to the kids in my van and asked them what it means to them that we give them rides:
Aaliyah immediately said, “I feel so special!”
Hannah said, “A lot of kids’ parents might not have cars or a way to get them there.”
Madison said, “It makes me feel like you care for us so much that you would pick us up.”
Your continued partnership through monthly support and special donations helps House of Faith meet our financial needs, remove barriers and most importantly send a beautiful message to our families of how valued they are to God and to us. It is an honor to call you partner in this amazing ministry of taking Jesus to neighborhood children, youth, and families.
We praise God for you! Your partnership and support are an answer to our prayers! Thank you for helping us make an eternal impact for Jesus in the lives of our children, youth, and families!
