MINISTRY REPORT

  • HELP! Please consider registering your Food Lion MVP card with INYOU MINISTIRES. An organization must have at least 25 MVP cards linked in order to participate. Go to www.foodlion.com, then to “in the community, fundraising.”
  • “THE NEST” is open for business! It was awesome seeing this long-standing vision come to fruition. Since we moved out of the old farmhouse, it has been filled with someone in need of a temporary home. In November it will become available again. Those who have lived in “The Nest” have paid for all utilities, taxes and insurance, which has helped to provide for the ministry expenses. Pray with us about the next Nest host(s).
  • This month we pulled up the carpet in the Great Room and discovered 3” tongue-and-grove pine floors! The Great Room has been painted, stained, cleaned, a window repaired, and an interior door added to separate it from the rest of the house. Also, old gutters were removed, the exterior fascia painted and the fence painted.
  • College Bible Study has been deep and enriching this past month. We meet Sunday nights at 7:30 pm.
  • INYOU MINISTRIES changed phone companies to a web-based service called SunRocket. It’s $200 per year with unlimited local and long distance calling. It should save the ministry $750+ per year over Bellsouth!
