Coming and Going part 3





North America Project

Kentucky

Hey! Sorry this edition is a little late.

We had such a great Thanksgiving at the Brent house. Everyone was home and my dad and I along with an old high school buddy, Rick Calcagno, played a little golf. I thank God for my dads recovery from cancer and he has a great wife, Wanda, who is such a wonderful godly lady. We had such fun time this Thanksgiving with a lot to be thankful . Did I tell you that my little girl is home where she belongs? Did I share with you my boy, Brian is going to graduate from college next semester? And did I tell you I am still madly in love with my best friend and high school sweetheart, my gorgeous wife, Tammy. I am so blessed with a great church family too! I bet you have a lot to be thankful for also.

There is an area and a people who have really struggled lately trying to figure out what they have to be thankful. Hebron's ladies were there to help them fix their eyes upon Jesus so they too could give thanks. The people of Appalachia was our ministry target last month and is today's partnership spotlight. Our ladies packed food and clothes and headed for the hills of Kentucky to the towns of Corbin and Williamsburg. While there they ministered to other ladies going through very hard times. The ladies also visited a homeless shelter and nursing home. Under the direction of Tammy Lawell, Hebron Women's ministry handed out everything they brought and also worked at a nursing home, school, and a ministry site that has some great potential for future work in Williamsburg. This site is under the direction of a great couple who are from the area and know the hard times the city is going through. The ministry is housed in an old RC Cola plant that needs some tender loving care and that's exactly what our ladies gave them. The ladies of Hebron have challenged the Hebron men to partner with them to take on this ministry project and help restore this old Cola plant to a well oiled ministry machine. When finished this plant will be able to house and feed 78 people. It will have a clothing ministry, food pantry, youth hall, multiple stall his/her bathhouse and ministry office. Guys lets step up to the challenge!
