“So my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 New Living Translation
Amazingly, in February of this year, our newsletter spoke of how our students, volunteers, and staff love Kids Clubs, Teen Time, and the ministry. Just a month later, our country shut down. Our country and the world were gripped with fear, concern, and need as never before over the Covid 19 Pandemic while believers watched and prayed. Hand washing and social distancing became the new world “norm” overnight. Believers watched and prayed. Churches, schools, and businesses were closed down. Believers watched, prayed, and went into action. Whatever you have done while things were “shut down,” thank you for “being strong and immovable.“ Thank you for working “enthusiastically for the Lord.” Thank you for knowing “that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” Thank you for continuing to pray for and support One Way International during this time to keep our ministry strong, immovable, and working for the Lord.
We enthusiastically kept in touch with the principal of Colonial Hills Elementary School, the owner of Kerrybrook Apartments, and SAMM. Although not allowed to meet with students face to face, we were told of needs and were able to address those needs as possible. The teachers at Colonial Hills Elementary (as in every school across the nation,) worked tirelessly to provide for the students.
May 18, we looked at a larger apartment at Kerrybrook that became available and moved from the present one into a downstairs much more suitable and larger apartment to continue Kids Club, Teen Time, Ladies Bible study, ESL classes, and tutoring in the coming months. The owner gave it to us for the same price we had been paying in the past. PTL!
