Backpack Update from Dorothy| I wanted to take this time to share with you how your help has impacted one of the refugee clients I see. I have been seeing a single, African, mom of eight children since last April. Her main issues were learning to adjust to life in the US and processing the traumatic events she experienced in her home country. In December of last year, I lost touch with her because she was evicted from her apartment (couldn’t pay the rent) and was living in a homeless shelter somewhere in Denver. Last week, she stopped by my office unannounced. I was pleasantly surprised to see her. As she spoke through her tears, my heart sank; her life has been one struggle after another and it doesn’t end here. However, through her story, I was reminded of what I love about her; she has such strength and courage. She perseveres despite all the obstacles she faces and she holds on to her faith dearly. She worries about many things, especially for the future of her children, but she also has hope. One of the things she shared with me was that four of her children were going to school without school supplies, so at the end of our session, I gave her four backpacks and some toiletry items. I wish I could have captured her expression – she couldn’t stop smiling and saying, “asante,” which means thank you. Her gratefulness impacted us the rest of the day. I wanted to share my client’s story because I wanted you to know that your generosity is making a difference! Asante.

Service Time Move | We’re moving, Oct 2nd. Our English congregation hopes to build greater fellowship and deeper worship. We will be creating a “space” before our worship service to connect and have fellowship. We will be creating this time from 11-11:30am. Our service will begin at 11:30am to accommodate this fellowship time. We hope that our congregation would come to church 15 min. earlier to connect with one another at 11am. Prayer Needs
