Text received from “CL” Tuesday morning – “I hope no pressures or worries of stress interfere with your day so that your heart may collaborate with your hands causing the essences of your task to bring the joy of accomplishment rather than burdens of obstacles”.

The Joy of Accomplishment:
15 birth certificates ordered this month so far!! 5 ID’s and 2 driver’s licenses paid for so far this month!! These are huge accomplishments for those trying to get back on their feet. Each birth certificate tells a story – for many, no father is listed. Some were adopted, some had mothers that gave birth to them a very young age. Identification can make life changing differences for some. You can’t get much accomplished without identification.

Female sleeping in a shed in a neighboring county after being displaced from a local motel that was shut down a few weeks ago is seeking employment and housing! A single mom trying to get her kids back and find stable housing.

Connections were made this month with the Brunswick Breeze, The Pathway Desk at A Better Glynn, Safe Harbor Center, Inc. and the Glynn County Sheriff's Office. An ambassador with True Charity stopped by for conversation and a tour. Dave Ryan with the Anschutz Foundation as well as part of the Under 1 Roof team came by to see the progress of the construction. Sheetrock is up and you can finally see the dream coming to life in one half of our building.

We attended the Homeless Coalition this month which is a great collaboration between Safe Harbor and other community partners/churches!

Many of you came through this month and wrote prayers, scriptures and/or placed Bibles inside the walls!

Daniel’s House of Hope - Men are working to get their lives back all while encouraging the others that live there as well. The men attended a financial literacy class with STAR of Coastal Georgia, Inc. and Ameris Bank – gotta learn how to manage debt and save all while building a future!

Calls continue to come in daily for those seeking services. We have received over 50 Bibles from you this month!!

Anyone have an extra acoustic guitar they are looking to get rid of and want to donate? Our guys in the house are ready to start a Bible study and want to include worship.

08/22/2026

At the end of the day and the week, THIS is what it’s all about! Jesus being glorified and honored in ALL we do!

One of the guys grilled burgers, then they prayed over the food and sat together as brothers and broke bread together.

Our house is full (2 guys are at work in these pics). They love Jesus and aren’t afraid to show it.

I’m so thankful to be a small part of their story of redemption and hope.

A couple of weeks ago I met “R” in a difficult place. Just 17 years old, he had already made some bad choices that will probably affect his life for many years. I asked about his mom – said he was taken away from her when he was a baby – had no idea who his father was. No siblings, no one. The only thing he knew about his mom was her name. I asked where she lived and he told me, told me that I could find her on facebook, so I did. I sent her a message telling her who I was and that I had spoken to her son. As of today, she hasn’t read the message. Monday morning, my first phone call was “Hey Ms. Maria did you find my mom?” I said that I had and had sent a message but that she had not read it. I assured him that as soon as I heard from her, I would let him know.

“E” who I take to work a few days a week had been admitted to the hospital Friday and was released on Saturday. Earlier that week, she spoke about how much she loved her church and was going to be baptized on Sunday (this past Sunday), so this morning I asked her had she been able to be baptized Sunday since she had just been released from the hospital. She said yes and with tears in her eyes, she said that she had never felt so loved as she has in the last month. She attends her church every Sunday, is part of a Bible study group on Monday nights and is a new Christian!

So many times, I feel like we all live in a bubble. We never know what people are dealing with on a daily basis, the struggles that people face. Some are struggling to keep children fed, roofs over their heads, all the while trying to work and/or find jobs that pay a livable wage. Family members watch kids because parents can’t afford daycare. Moms are hitting the food banks to get food until their paychecks hit. It’s all a vicious cycle that some will never be able to escape. The struggle is real!!

Tomorrow, we will be on the streets searching for those that are often “unseen and unheard”.

My hope is that if I hear from “R” again, I will be able to tell him I heard from his mom!!
