Going "home"

Today, thanks to your support, we were able to assist 2 men looking to make a change in their lives by purchasing bus tickets for them to go "home".  One man is going to Nashville to enter a Rehab program and he has family support there that he does not have here in Memphis.  The other man is going to Gainesville FL where he has a friend that is willing to help him get back on his feet by giving him a place to live until he finds work and can get his own place.

In addition to calling and confirming that these men are welcome where they are going, I always ask "is this a better situation for you than where you are now" and today both of these men sounded like a ton of weight had been lifted off of them as they both replied "oh yes"!!  It always makes me smile when we can get someone to a place that they feel is "home".  Whether that is Memphis or somewhere across the country where they have support and love, we are blessed to be able to help people go "home".

Join our ministry with your prayers, your time or become a monthly supporter of our ministry to help people through various programs such as the program that allowed us to purchase bus tickets for these two men.
