Yesterday while heading to the river we were met with a handful of random people at intersections or walking down the road. 11 sacked lunches were handed out before even stopping anywhere.

A group of beautiful women from Avon prepared lunches with hearty ham and cheese sandwhiches, chips, a banana, 1/2 cup of oreo dirt pudding and 1/2 cup of banana pie pudding. And I failed to get a picture 🤦‍♀️ Sometimes the picking up of the meal is just as powerful as some of the camp moments. We talked about Jeff, he was always there when picking up the meals from them. We talked about the camps and the changes our friends are experiencing. I visited with their horses 🐎 ❤️ These women prayed for me before I left. Simple but deep! God put on her heart what I was allowing to weigh me down. I left with a reignited faith for those things that I wasn't letting go of.

We had taken a different route and on a whim stopped at one of the places we visited about 6 years ago. We found a couple under a bridge living from their vehicles who were hot, hungry and very appreciative. We chatted for a bit and had a nice visit. After leaving we passed a trail along the road and decided to check it out. A young lady came riding down on a bike. We had 19 lunches left and there were 17 people there. They do have to vacate by the end of the month but it was great to meet new faces. And might I add - this camp was immaculate! You can tell that they all work together to keep it clean and trash free.

30 lunches and a case of water were served. It was a very refreshing day. By request, no pictures were taken.

Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

From spending time with children to organizing donations, cleaning, shopping, and helping make our house feel like a home, our volunteers play an essential role in our mission.

A special thank you to Amber, who faithfully helps restock our home and essential supplies, ensuring we are always prepared to meet the needs of every child who walks through our doors. We are so grateful for her dedication and for all of the volunteers who help create a safe, welcoming, and loving environment for the children we serve. 🏡✨

Thank you, Amber, and all of our incredible volunteers, for being the hands and feet behind our mission. We couldn't do this without you! 🏡

We Need YOUR Help!

Every year during Celebrate Good Times, we collect cereal boxes to help stock up our stash for the summer. When you arrive on May 31st, we encourage you to bring some cereal boxes with you while you're at it! Your donations will help the camp by providing plenty of cereal options for our campers.

Come out to Celebrate Good Times on May 31st from 2-5pm Eastern Time. We are excited to celebrate what God has done and kick off our summer season to witness what God will continue to do here at Hanging Rock.

Prayers for all

God doesn’t care about the magnitude, He cares about the movement and direction.Things are slowing down. We served snack bags with tuna/chicken salad kits, cookies, fruit cups and chips prepared with love by the Eversoles in Lebanon. We were only able to see about 26 of our usual friends. The camps will be empty by mid July.

Could this be a time to use the pause to focus on who we are being in Christ rather than what we are doing. Could it be that rather than focusing on numbers it's time to invest deeply in the few people directly in front of us? We will continue to pray and to listen, to trust His will and have faith in His plans.

This is bitter sweet. We are happy for those who want housing. But we feel helpless to those who have anxiety or mental issues that just can't handle the change. Chico is such a calm soul, he walks with the Prince of Peace and it is evident! He is not looking forward to leaving the place he has called home for over 10 years and he is worried about the 9 cats he has inherited and cared for but he is positive about it (peace). Some have adjusted well but many are struggling with finding a new normal and figuring out how to adapt to living without the support they're used to receiving (food, necessities, prayer, love and consistent personal relationships with various people/groups) at a time when they really need it.

Good news, the move-in kits from Team Depot should be ready mid May. We've gathered addresses and are excited to deliver !!

As always, this is God's outreach and we are the ones blessed to be the hands and feet that carry it out. Pray for our friends. Thank you for following and caring.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will direct your path.
