Air conditioners and exterior foam now completed

Seven air conditioners were installed last week on the building being constructed at the new Gospel Rescue Mission Women & Children’s center.

Just today, the foam was added to the exterior walls around the entire building. It was unreal, how in just one day, this part of the project was completed. The next step is to stucco the foam on the exterior walls. The building will look much closer to completed once the stucco is added.

However, more work remains to complete the interior, such as flooring, kitchen equipment, sheet rock, etc. But each day we get closer to moving in.

Just 2 weeks ago we were contemplating having to slow down constrution, as our funds had diminished to about zero. We prayed for God to provide the funds, or to show us what we needed to do to slow down or pause the construction. In faith, we looked to God, for our answer. The very next day we received a gift of $10,000, which was followed the next day by another of $50,000, which was followed 2 days later by another of $204,000. So, just when we were contemplating US needing “to do something“, God once again came through with a jaw dropping answer to the immediate need. That’s been the case for the entire project!!!

We still need about $350,000-400,000 to complete the building, but we know that God will somehow provide that, as we get closer to again needing the funds to continue. For now, construction is going full force, with no slow down. Praise God.

Volunteers are also making regular progress completing the rooms that will be used for housing the women and children. Several are complete, including furniture and equipment. Our goal is to have the center open by year end, but God knows the day and time and we trust Him for that as well.

The expansion project has been an amazing journey of faith and just being obedient to God’s asking us to move forward trusting Him for all of the provisions. It’s been one amazing testimony after another of seeing God’s hand in the whole project. Nothing contrived or manipulated by us. Just walking step by step in faith.

Thank you to those who have supported the Mission and this project with your prayers, time, resources, and finances. It is truly God’s Mission and He has used all of our community to provide for the homeless women and children. God bless you.

We remain amazed as God faithfully meets the needs of the Mission. It seems as soon as we are out of something or need something when we pray…God answers, over and over again. We have one story after another. Today I received this email from Becky, our Kitchen Supervisor.  This answered prayer demonstrates God’s love and concern for the homeless.

Here is Becky’s account:

I just had to share this. Lately donations of food have been down here & there seems to be a real shortage of dairy products even at the food bank. Last week the ladies were in quite an uproar because of a shortage of eggs, milk & cottage cheese.  I have been buying milk & cottage cheese & serving it sparingly. I felt like eggs were something we could manage without. Well, last week the ladies were really upset because we had no eggs for several days. In community meeting I reminded them that they needed to be thankful for what God provided for them & ask Him for eggs. I assured them that this has always worked. God always supplies our needs & even gives us extra stuff that we just want. Today I went to the food bank & for the 1^st time in months they had beautiful eggs that were not outdated & broken I got 36 dozen & not one was broken!!!! GOD IS SO FAITHFUL, we just need to remember to be thankful & trust Him. I just couldn’t keep it to myself…Thanks…Becky 

God is indeed amazing and every day we get to witness His hand in the lives of the homeless men, women, and children, as well as in the Mission itself. Come and be a part of it!!!
