Laundry Love this week

We had another successful Laundry Love this week! This is such a great ministry. We get to help people and really get to know them as well. We had a few regulars and some newcomers as well. The clothes were a big hit and we are so thankful to all the people who donated them. The food, as always, was delicious and the help was phenomenal. This time we were blessed to know that one family in particular is receiving some much needed love and physical help. They are coming to Christmas Eve services as well. Praise God! A huge thank you goes out to the folks who come and help and who prepare behind the scenes. To God be the glory!

Laundry Love!

Our Laundry Love program is really taking off and we are so excited to be able to serve the people of our local community. This has been a great way to get to know people in our own small town and really help the great people of Camas and Washougal. The needs here are the same as other places and with the holidays coming up we have been even more dedicated to this great ministry. It is just a blast to get to talk with folks and provide a very real service. Along with the laundry we were blessed to serve folks a great meal provided by the ladies of Graceful Servants and provide clothes of all sizes thanks to the generous gals at Denim and Frills Consignment in Vancouver, WA. Enjoy these photos and let us know if you would like to be a part of this wonderful ministry!

Luila Village, Democratic Republic of Congo




Mama Rose Phambu was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and now spends her energy and time bringing God's love to her village. She is pouring all her love into the village and is trying to set up many programs including clean water, agriculture and education and training for unwed mothers. We are partnering with Mama Rose and Luila Village Ministries to help make these programs a reality. We are working on support for the clean water project as well as developing plans for a boarding school and child care facility (in lieu of an orphanage). The families in Luila are committed to caring for the orphans of their village and are doing everything they can to care for them and take them in as family. We desire to come along side them in their endeavors.
