The weather was a bit cool Saturday for the 3^rd annual egg hunt. We still had many kids and had a great time allowing them to tell us what Easter and Jesus meant to them. After a meal, prizes & awards, we shared the Easter story and then turned the mics over to the kids. Let your imagination go…It was that much fun. We use these seasons to bring Jesus alive in the hearts of our kids and it seems to work well. 

We recently purchased our second recovery home. This is a three bedroom 1½ bath. Eventually we will use for men, but for now we are assisting another family. Robert Wilkins, along with wife & daughter has lived in our first home several months. Robert is doing great, he has climb the ladder at his job, has his family & life back together, next month he will be 100% paying his own way. Robert does give back; he drives the church van and taught himself the sound board and video system for Church services.  He recently said with tears in his eyes, he could never have done this without God & his church family. We are blessed to see him holding his daughter in his arms and his wife Billie helping run the system. That’s what Christianity is about, allowing Jesus to use what we have, so He can put lives back together!

Debbie and the other Chaplains have been doing a great work with the ladies in Stephens County jail. Last week they Baptized 17 ladies and we baptized 9 several weeks earlier. The men had 4 baptized. The Lord continues to touch & change lives in our jails. We have a great team of dedicated Chaplains, the Sheriff and his entire jail staff are to be commended for allowing the chaplains to serve the Lord & the community through the jails and working with us as they do. I also want to commend our parole office and drug court for the outstanding job they do in helping people put their lives back together. It’s a very draining and demanding job that takes a lot of true love & patience. Thank you guys, Great job

We have excellent child care for every service. God has called Jamie Mangum and Amanda Blake into very special ministers of children. They bring Jesus alive in the hearts of our kids in many creative ways. Some of our children come from broken homes, so Jamie and Amanda show them extra love and affection to instill, in them, the vision that God has for their lives. They also teach them to honor and respect their authorities, beginning with their parents.

Our kids know that they are loved and many cry when they have to leave. I wish grown ups loved church that much! We teach them the love of Jesus, that they are highly favored  and very valuable to God, to us, and to their families. They are the future and we take this responsibility seriously.

In Closing we won’t to thank each of you so much! On behalf of our co-laborers and the entire church, Debbie and I want you to know how very much we appreciate your support of this ministry. We remain encouraged by the willingness of brothers and sisters like you who help us do the work that grips our hearts. We have made ourselves available to the Lord that He might use The Recovery Church Family to make a difference in our community, and we remain encouraged that we will have the Castle Home this year as a place for women. Debbie and I want to say a special thank you to our church family who give of themselves so much. We love & appreciate each of you in a very special way!
