Give Where You Live

This a story of a courageous man and a wonderful family that is now part of our community. Doug was living in a tough neighborhood down south. He had already raised a four kids to adulthood so his mind was more oriented to retirement than raising another family. However, one day he met a distressed neighbor carrying an infant. She was complaining about how her life was in shambles and how difficult things were. Sensing there was a deeper problem, Doug asked a simple question: “Why don’t you give me that baby?”

ROAD TO THE MISSION

As a child my grandmother would ensure we would go to church as often as she was able to take us, which was pretty often. However, there was no questions or anything on what we had learned that day in Sunday school. Needless to say I really hadn’t learned anything about God or his unconditional love for me.
