That child is now 15 years old and the
family called to tell Pastor Jim about
their successful endeavors in Oregon,
where they have relocated.
Pastor Jim describes many served by
Strong Foundation as having descend-ed
to the lowest point of their lives
when they become homeless. Another
former resident — a single mom —
recently posted on Facebook, “We were
at a place we never imagined we would
be, but it turned out to be the best
thing that ever happened to us.”
Strong Foundation depends on the
generous donations of Christ’s people

God’s kingdom. The facility can accom-modate
up to 16 families at a time.
This might include 50-60 people, more
than half of whom are children. The
ministry operates as a local mission
center and benefits from hundreds of
volunteers each month who help with
everything from cleaning, leading
classes, landscaping, light construc-tion,
maintenance work and meals.
Another opportunity called KidzTime
is critical. Here, volunteers interact
with the children while parents attend
life-skills classes or Bible studies.
“Without God’s people supporting
us the way they do — we do not exist,”
Pastor Jim says. “Everyone who gives,
prays or serves is part of what we do.”
Volunteers are invited to consider
the convenience of mission work in
their own backyard and are encour-aged
to serve with their families. Often
church Life Groups will serve together
with their own children.
“We are a mission center. People
from local churches and organizations
can serve while staying faithful to their
local church,” Pastor Jim says. Opportu-nities
to serve can be found on their
website. If you want to help a family
get back on their feet and begin to
strengthen their relationship with
Christ, you can! The Lord has provided
a place where lives are being changed,
and we can all be a part. All they need
is Strong Foundation’s proven track
record and you. Let’s help Strong
Foundation continue to be a beacon of
light in our community for families
that need hope and a hand up.
