September 2008 Happy 21st Birthday! Emmaus House, our home for women coming from jail/prison/rehab, is 21 years old this month. In these 21 years we’ve grown from one house for six women to 12 houses that are now home to 40 women at a time. We’ve had 701 “guest” stays in these 21 years and have served thousands more at our door. Thanks to a multitude of helpers, donors, volunteers, providers, care-ers — we continue to serve those in need unto today. Thank you, God, for allowing us to share in your work here in Saginaw.
Partners Needed In our last newsletter we shared our dream of having a distribution/help center on our property. The purpose of this building is to house our excess donations until we can distribute them to those in need, as well as, providing room where we can meet with and minister to those who come, the 80-90 people per week who show up at our door. This building will allow the activities of our home to go on without constant interruptions. We’ve passed the city boards and are ready to draw up detailed blueprints. Now we’re seeking partners, anyone who is willing to help us in any way - - with expertise/money/muscles. Every contribution will put us closer to our goal. Help! (Perhaps we’ll need an old-fashioned barn raising.) |
