Safe and Warm


After months of preparation, failed attempts, prayer we now have a overnight shelter for the next 2 months of winter. Feed My Sheep's winter overnight shelter began in Mid November and we have been open for 2 weeks now. A local church, Sonlight Foursquare, offered us their building free of charge, save a little bit of money for utilities. After much prayer and concern that the homeless would be sleeping outside in the snow I got to watch as God once again provided for his children. If that were not enough blessings, North Fork Baptist Church in Paonia donated a 15 passenger van to Feed My Sheep for the winter to bus people back and forth.

Another church has offered their building for the second 2 months of winter but that is pending approval from the city. We are so thankful to serve a God who not only knows our needs but cares enough to listen to answer our prayers. I can rest a little easier knowing that no one in the roaring fork valley has to spend a winter night outside. Thank you all for your prayers!

Christmas for Karamoja

Christmas is coming to Karamoja, and you can be a part of it! We are looking for homes to host fundraiser dinners for Shalom Home. All you have to provide is the food and the friends, we do the rest! We will send you an information packet about Karamoja and the work going on there with Shalom Reconciliation Ministry. You share the information with your friends and encourage them to put Karamoja on their Christmas list. Show them how they can be involved in helping these kids by donating to Shalom Home. We desperately want to be able to finish this orphanage, but we can't do it without you! Please consider hosting a dinner on December 11th and join homes all over the world in raising money for the orphans of Karamoja! you can comment on this blog or email me at k1nneth@yahoo.com if you want to be involved.

Thanks guys. Let's keep working to make a life for these orphans who otherwise have no hope.
