Christian Woman's Job Corps Begin

Our ministry with those in poverty will be two years old with the beginning of the General Assembly in Tampa this June. We are excited about the evolution of the work meeing the needs of those who are homeless and near homeless in northeastern NC. We have been working very hard to give organization to this ministry and now are feeling that things are falling into place.

So many stories to tell about how God has met the needs of many people in our area. Last evening Anna told me a story about a lady that had come to her with help for her light bill; her lights will be turned off today if help doesn't arrive. The touching thing that was evident in her request for help is that she is desperately looking for work; any work, anywhere. She indicated that her only talent was cleaning and she talked about the pleasure she gets from cleaning or yard work. Her request also included "can you help me with training on how to get a job?"

Tearfully, Anna related that we are very close to providing training. The frustrating fact is that we could not help her today. We have received approval from the Transformational Development Team to fund a new project. The account is in place at CBF and we are now attempting to raise funds. We need financial help to help this lady and others who for various reasons, due to no fault of their own, cannot help themselves.

In cooperation with WMU of North Carolina we have partnered together to begin Christian Woman's Job Corps in northeastern NC. We plan to expand our ministry, The Eastern NC Poverty Network, to form a physical office located in Roanoke Rapids, NC and fund staff to help us. This is truly a "God-Sized Task" and one that has humbled us greatly. We know nothing else but to ask for funds to reach the people of northeastern NC with more than a light bill payment, more than a bag of food. We desire to develop relationships with these people and find solutions to their problem through the ministry of mentoring and counseling that will take place through Christian Woman's Job Corps.

On the Eastern NC Poverty Network group at the fellowshipportal.ning.com or on our facebook page (Eastern NC Poverty Network) you will find a brochure that tells more about the ministry to those in poverty. We invite you to look at our brochure and if you can print it out and help us raise funds we would be grateful. If you can give, please note the giving form on the brochure. We thank you for any help you might be able to offer to the people of northeastern NC.
