2016 was a record year for us!
We completed a record number of projects, and were in the best financial shape since we began in 1992.
Joining our Backyard Mission team in 2016 - Scott Montgomery! Scott and his wife Jaime began a ministry similar to us called Restoration Ministries of West Texas. They focus on Wolfforth and more rural areas around Lubbock. He is working part-time for us as a Volunteer Coordinator. He has been a great addition to our ministry, and happens to have mad trailer backing skills!
AND lastly, I would like you to meet “RED”! After 24 years, we finally bought a work truck! “RED” is a 2007 GMC Sierra. God provided everything we wanted in a truck, for the price we hoped to pay! No doubt, God is still in the business of miracles!
We will continue to follow where He leads us, letting people know, there is a God who sees them, knows them, loves them, and has come to meet their need.
