Safe Families Update
by Mollie Wise
At this time, all continues to go well with our current
placement. A lot of people have been involved in this
ministry since we first started about 8 months ago. It
has taken many different individuals all with different callings and talents to make this program run within our church. I want to say “thank you”
to all of you who have participated in the program in any way and also I want to say thank you to all of those who have supported the program
through prayer. So many times we forget how many people it takes to help an individual much less a family. I do know it is totally worth it. Just
imagine the difference that has been made in the families and children we have worked with so far. At times we don’t see progress fast enough or
the progress we want to see, but we remember it is not our plan or our time table that we are to go by. We must not give up on others due to slow
progress and at times even lack of progress. We must allow God to work within them and most of all work through us to show His love to them.
Sometimes when we see failure it really is not failure, just ourselves and our plan being put before God’s. We must always seek Him first, be patient second, and all has a way of working out in His timing. If anyone has any questions about Safe Families you can reach me at cell 618-2941394 work 618-273-3326 and email is [email protected] or [email protected].
