As you may know by now, Faith House of Enfield, Inc. has agreed to partner with Union Mission in cooperative work with women and children who are homeless. We are excited about our new partnership in that this will give us the opportunity to reach out to women and children in our ministry.
This past week, due to the kindness of a local church, we were able to supply Faith House with a new cooking range for their kitchen. It is through the networking and partnering, like this, through other organizations that we will be able to assist Faith House with her needs. We are hopeful to have a volunteer in place who will come to us from the membership of a local church in Enfield. Other plans are for LaCount Anderson, Executive Director, to join the Board of Directors of Faith House. His involvement with the Board will be invaluable to knowing how we can assist. "We will move slowly and only through the leadership of God as we begin this process of partnering. Our desire is to make a positive impact for our Lord in Enfield through whatever we can do to help our friends at Faith House," said LaCount Anderson recently.
Donations to this ministry are already being accepted at Union Mission from the community. It is thought that we will have much support from the general public relating to our new holistic ministry to those in need.
A mobile home has been donated to Union Mission as a transitional residence for women and children. We are now awaiting a location for the home and the plan is to have it fully operational by September, 2011. We are seeking partnerships from churches and other organizations to remodel and furnish the house.
