Santa Ana Project: Celebrate Christmas with a
family serving day on Saturday, December 20!
 
Every first and
third Saturday of the month we assist a local
Santa Ana church in hosting an
outreach event for families living in the communty.
During these outreach
Saturdays, families needs are met both spiritually and physically. On
the 20th, we are incorporating a "surprise" Christmas party
for the children. Volunteers are needed between the hours of 10AM-4PM.
Folks are needed to help distribute groceries, clothing,
household items, pray, run some "fun stuff" for the kids,
etc.
We still have a
list of about 15 items we need in order to make this a special party!
If you would like to donate items or are able to help before or on the
day of the event, please contact Tracey Kirk-Johnson at 949 842-3655 or
email her at Tracey@familyhomeloans.net.

1990, the mission of the Dove Foundation has been to encourage and
promote the creation, production, distribution and consumption
of wholesome family entertainment. Dick Rolfe, Co-Founder & CEO of
the Dove Foundation believes that "It's time for positive family
values to impact those in Hollywood
instead of Hollywood
impacting family values". In November, Hearing Everett was
awarded the Dove "Family-Approved" Seal, along with
receiving a "Five Dove", the highest rating given. The film
was also featured on the home page of their website durung the
month of November..

Baja Mexico
Food Distribution a Huge Success
|
|
|
|
Its because of
people like you that during the month of November over 32,000
pounds of food was distributed to over 12 ministries operating in Baja
Mexico .
The ministries varied from local churches, to orphanages, to a deaf
school for children, and even an adult care center for people infected
with the HIV/AIDS virus. We have received multiple emails from
these ministries asking us to convey their sincere gratitude to all of
you.
We would also
like to thank our assisting partners from GAIN, Convoy of Hope, PODS,
Corazon De Vida, and Christian Life Assembly and
Saddleback Churches
for their participation in the project.

"FUN COUNTS
TOO" Project
Strong
Tower Ministry exists to be a conduit for folks wanting to serve and to
get plugged in to serving opportunities. God has laid it on the
hearts of a local father and son team to do just that. Having been
involved in serving trips over the years, this duo realized a need as
simple as providing a soccer ball to kids in situations where
"rocks" or "cans" were all they had. Their
mission is to make a difference by approaching local sports equipment
outlets and asking for donated items that will be provided to kids
abroad, as well in our own backyard.
To
partner with this effort or for more information contact Bo at Bowman@cox.net
or visit http://www.funcountstoo.com
