We are excited to announce that we will be celebrating our Faith Promise Days on Sunday, February 4 and February 11 at all of our worship services.  Faith Promise is our devotion and commitment to kingdom work through missions, both locally and globally.  Each February we turn our eyes toward those missionaries, churches and organizations that we financially support and make commitments for the following year to support them.  Our Faith Promise is completely separate from our regular church budget.  Faith Promise giving is over and above our regular giving.  It is a joyful thing to bless other ministries and be part of something that is bigger than ourselves.

Our commitment is to support ministries across the globe that are growing, flourishing, bearing fruit and helping hurting people find peace with God.  Our theme verse is Luke 4:18 where Jesus says, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recover of sight for the blind and to set the oppressed free.” Over these two Sundays each person will be challenged to think about their life and whether they are playing their in the gospel reaching the nations.  We will get reports from some of our global missionaries like Judah Tangshing in Myanmar and Simprius in Gonaives, Haiti.  We will be praying for the work that is being done around the world and even in our own backyards.

Letter from Rebecca Randall, Hand in Hand Director of Development

“Seeking the lost…equipping the found.” That indeed is what we do here at our Men’s and Women’s Recovery Communities. We are a Christ centered recovery program.  Our men’s program has been operating in Eustis and Lake County Florida since November of 2014. Our women’s program has been in operation since 2007 and recently relocated to Eustis where we were able to support our women better. Our goal is to assist men and women with addiction issues, to walk with them as they overcome their issues, show them how Christ can and will heal them. After completion of our Recovery programs it is our desire that these men and women return to their families and communities with the tools and skills that are pleasing to themselves, their families and more importantly God!

2020 was an amazing year in the life of our clients and in our ministry.  GOD provided Hand in Hand with the opportunity to buy 2 new homes, one for the men’s ministry and one for the women’s ministry.  An additional home for our men after graduation where they can learn to use the tools, they were given during their time in our Men’s recovery community.

In addition to the men’s home we were able to expand our ministry and program at the women’s recovery community as well.  The women’s recovery community has been walking with women since March of 2007.  We expanded our reach to women in Lake county and increased the number of women we can work with at any given time to 14.  This allows us to better serve women after they graduate from our recovery program and to continue walking with them as the navigate life on life’s terms. We are always looking to GOD and following his prompting.  

Fall Festival is a positive alternative to trick-or-treating for the families in our        community.  Families in our church decorate the “trunks” of their cars or beds of

their trucks to participate in our Trunk or Treat while handing out candy to children in our community.  There are bounce houses, games, candy, snow cones, free food and so much more.  This is a great event to build relationships in the community.
