I write to you with a special 2020 challenge.
Image you are a parent with 2 small children and you have no place to live and no income.What would you do? Where would you turn for help?
Studies show there are several hundred homeless children in the two local school districts. In its 7 year history, Family Promise of New Braunfels has graduated 50 families. Family Promise makes a difference for these families and children.
The mission of FP is “to provide support for families with children facing homelessness to achieve and sustain independence.”
Faith Church has been deeply involved with Family Promise since its 2013 inception. Members have served on the Board of Directors, multiple committees, host coordinators, fund raising, building and grounds maintenance, providing meals, hosting families overnight and even playing games with children.
Now the SPECIAL CHALLENGE. My term serving on the Board concludes March 2020. Faith Church has always had a representative on the Board.It is fitting to maintain that representation continuing the ministry Christ gave us in Matthew 25:40: “Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these, you did it to me.”
The responsibilities of the Board includes: establish program policy, strategic planning, fund raising, financial management, and public relations. The Board currently meets one time per month.
I trust that someone would prayerfully consider serving families in need by serving on the Board.
Anyone so willing, or would suggest someone, please contact Pastor Scott or Bob Manning
