Housing Need

Hebrews 6:10 NIV

10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

Housing Needed: Our sister organization, Charlotte Pregnancy Resource Center, has hired a new employee who is in need of housing in this area. This brother in the Lord, who has served as a pastor, is currently living in a trailer at JAARS in Waxhaw and having to commute daily to the office near uptown. With the current cost of gas, this is a financial hardship. The need will be for a period of 6-12 months. It would be such a blessing if we could help this brother to locate an inexpensive or free housing opportunity near the crisis pregnancy center. Let Debbie know if you can help. debloislodge@aol.com

Ministry Update and Prayer Requests

Maternity Homes in NC are eligible for State Maternity Funds on behalf of clients that meet financial eligibility requirements. Most maternity homes require that clients access these funds in order to be able to move into their facility. The state ran out of these funds recently. Lois' Lodge is a ministry that accepts clients irregardless of their financial circumstances. As a consequence we have been deluged with applicants. Each of these women has a story that is heart wrenching. Many of them grew up without healthy families and are at risk of creating the same scenario for their own unborn child. Most do not have a personal relationship with a Heavenly Father that loves them unconditionally and is able to fill the holes that they have in their hearts. Due to having a limited capacity for six residential clients at a time, it is a challenge not to be able to meet all of the needs that are being presented. Please pray that the Lord will provide us with wisdom as to who He would desire for us to serve at this time. And pray for all the other hurting women who are in need of a Savior.

Also, we are currently hiring new staff. Please pray that the Lord will call godly women who have a heart for families in need to serve in this capacity. Summer is a challenging time financially for nonprofit ministries. We enter this summer in pretty good shape financially. Praise God for the ongoing provision which He provides to accomplish His purposes at Lois' Lodge! Please pray that the Lord will continue to provide the means to meet all of the needs at Lois' Lodge through the course of the summer. Thank you so much for your ongoing prayers. They really make a difference.
