Good afternoon, everyone,

We would like to extend our prayers to every community affected by these recent storms and severe weather.

May we remember that God is still good through every season of turmoil. We may not feel great in this moment but we can call on Jesus. He is our refuge and He will help us all persevere.

Good afternoon, everyone,

For the last couple of weeks in bible study, we have been discussing forgiveness and what that means biblically. Especially how our Father in heaven has forgiven us time and time again. He calls on us to do the same for others as well as ourselves as hard as it may be

Whatever bo***ge you are feeling this week, take what has been weighing you down and lay it at His feet. His mercy and grace is sufficient!

We would like to thank everyone who stops into our centers and leaves prayer requests as well as sharing how good God has been to them. It fills our heart with joy that so many in our community trust us with these requests. We keep each of you in prayer each day. May the Lord direct you and comfort you. You are not alone. Trust in His timing.

Hands of Hope of Illinois would like to thank the students & leaders at Mosaic Community Church for volunteering at our Wilmington warehouse on Thursday. What may seem like a small task, is actually a huge part of our mission. We are overjoyed with gratitude that the younger generation is as on fire for Jesus as we are. May the Lord continue to shine His light in their lives and continue to provide wisdom to their leaders.
