Our Men's Program is expanding! We are completing final touches our transitional home, which will soon allow us to welcome two additional residents. This live-in program is designed to help men overcome the challenges of poverty by focusing on spiritual growth, employment, financial stewardship, and long-term life planning. The above picture shows more than just eager hungry faces, but men whose lives are being transformed by Jesus while in the program. Please pray for them and the additional men who will be coming soon!

In the words of Saint Paul, “They asked only one thing, that we remember the poor, which was actually what I was eager to do.” (Gal 2:10)

Thank you Miller's Lutheran Church NALC for your generous donations. May God send you many blessings this Christmas.

Our Human Concerns Committee delivered the "cold weather relief supplies" (a.k.a. sweatpants and coffee) to our friends at Strong Life Ministries ministries today. Thank you, Miller's family, for your generosity this week in helping keep our neighbors warm! Here is a picture of one the folks at Strong Life receiving our delivery.
