God is so good!

It is amazing when I look back over the past month and reflect on everything that has happened with this ministry. We have had such an awesome response from so many people that were not only willing, but genuinely glad to help. Larissa and the kids are doing well. She has mentioned several times how blessed she is and how thankful she is to such a wide variety of people. She had a rather unexpected surprise today and it only confirmed that God has put her in the right place at the right time of her life. From her employers to "angels" who are working on her vehicle situation, to those who paid her gas bill and to everyone else; she is truly blessed with so many friends and family. We just wanted you to know that all of your contributions are so appreciated and are allowing Larissa to "catch her breath" while focusing on getting her future finances on track. Another governmental program kicked in 2 weeks ago and the biggest one is still in the works. We know that it will all come together and all the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place. Eventually, we want to make sure that everyone involved gets a thank you, but that can only be done if we know who you are. Since most of the contributions go straight into a bank account, it's been a little tricky deciding who sent it. Nonetheless, it's all going to Larissa, but please bear with us as we work out some of the little "kinks". None of this would be possible without all of you and I know that great things are going to continue to happen with this ministry.

I had the opportunity to speak to one of the social clubs at LCU tonight and we are trying to involve them in some capacity too. One of our goals is to be able to bring another family into the ministry by the first of the year. The only thing that we are going to ask of anyone who financially benefits from this ministry (Larissa included) is that they enroll in the Dave Ramsey courses provided by many churches. We already have all the materials, so it wouldn't cost them anything. Dave Ramsey is a "financial planner" that focuses on managing money as God intended. We feel that this is a great way to help educate people and learn to be good stewards of money.

Thank you again for all your help and for honoring Larissa and her children in such a special way. Thank you for making a difference!!!
Blessings
