They stayed in a motel and when money was running out, they came to us for help with one more night while looking for work. We gave them two more nights in the motel. This week, the mother returned asking for help with clothes for their teen-age son because the “kids were making fun of his clothes” and that was gladly given. They are in a home now—the father has a good job—and the mother is looking for a job. This is the kind of success story that keeps us sorting, cleaning and selling merchandise!— Nancy McMillan WEB MINISTRY Sermon Archives The original Forest Lake Church streaming service has now been deactivated.
