What a blessing Kim, Lois, and Missy have been YET AGAIN for FMN Ministries! They have done an incredible job raising funds, preparing gifts, and providing a beautiful and blessed Christmas for our families and children in Tinca.
By the ladies providing a special Christmas for our families, Dave and I were then able to enjoy watching the families smile together, laugh, take pride in their children (which we work hard to encourage), and openly witness more about why we celebrate Christ's birth and what he has done in our lives. It's an incredible feeling to watch the parents/grandparents faces as their children pray or tell the story of Jesus' birth. When we started the center, the parents weren't sure they could keep their children, tired, worn out, without hope, and unable to provide for their families, so we praised God each night as we looked around the room at shining parents and grandparents who were thankful for stoves and presents for their children, and had such pride of their children.
The ladies also helped us get completely caught up with all of the laundry and cleaning that has needed some attention in this past month as it has just been Dave and myself running the program. Besides all the help the team provided and special Christmas gifts they brought much laughter! It has been kind of a rough time lately, so it was so incredible just to be with friends, to be encouraged, prayed over, laugh together (a lot), and have the desire to provide a great Christmas for everyone relieved.
Thank you to everyone who donated to make our Christmas so special! Hopefully you can see the pure joy on everyone's faces in the beautiful pictures and know what you all were a part of! We thank you for all you have provided. It has drawn us closer to our families and helped to continue building trust (which is vital in this ministry).
Thank you again to Kim, Lois, Missy, and all of our prayer warriors and supporters for making this Christmas another AMAZINGLY BLESSED one! The Forget Me Not family is MOST GRATEFUL!
Blessings!
Rachel & Dave
