One thing I love about my job is that I get to minister to and disciple the women and children that come through our shelter. Recently, one of our 11-year-old kids prayed to receive Christ. Thanks to our generous donors, I was able to give her a Bible. The next day, she shared with me that she had read 13 chapters of Genesis and even wrote out her own Bible Study.

I looked at the questions and thought, “These are hard questions to answer even for me!” I asked her if she knew the answers and she said she plans on looking them up later. I let her know that this is exactly what God wants us to do. We ask questions and find out the answers so that we can be sure of what we believe and why. So then we can be prepared to give an answer when we are asked. I let her know that I am here to help her if and when she gets stuck!

What a blessing it is to be able to see God grab ahold of our kids' hearts and witness them working out their faith.

Over the past couple of years, Sheepfold has expanded our services and began to open its doors to women who have children with special needs. In one particular case we took a mom whose baby had multiple physical and developmental delays.

Just a week ago this mom was told, by the baby's doctors, that her baby's condition is terminal. This devasting news has crushed our mom's heart and the hearts of all in the household. Even in this darkest valley we offer Christ's compassion in love and prayer. In order to prepare to give this care, we are reminded to stay on our knees and in His Word on a daily basis. This will allow us to transfer the strength and comfort we receive from God's Word to serve each family's needs.

I feel so blessed to be part of this ministry that extends help to so many families that would otherwise be turned away. The Sheepfold is truly the “Hands and Feet” of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
