Ministry Report, September 2006
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!
- Counseling Sessions this month: 17. (Dr. Lyda Simmons: 2)

- 28—Scott spoke to Chase and other freshman Dorman students at an FCA breakfast. John Sorrells wrote: “This morning at FCA at DFC, Scott Wolfe brought a simple and straightforward message. It was a precious time. Get this 163 students at the Freshman campus alone! I was blown away! As the mass of students exited to class, I saw one student huddled with Coach Wyatt. Having to sprint to class, Coach Wyatt called me over and introduced me to Daniel Thompson. Coach Wyatt asked if I would stick around with Daniel because he told Coach Wyatt, “I need to give my heart to Jesus, today!”Praise the Lord! What a privilege to be in the orchard when the fruit is ripe! Thank you to all who planted, fertilized, pruned and watered in young Daniel’s life. Today, his tear-filled eyes showed he was full, ripe ready for harvest!… Scott, thank you! It made all the difference! Jesus makes all the difference. When the Truth shows up, it is not a concept we encounter, it is a person, the Lord Jesus Christ! (John 14:6)
