Happy New Year! Our theme for 2025… Moving Forward In The Name Of Jesus! Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc., has much to celebrate! We would like to thank you and share some of what we accomplished under the leadership of the Holy Spirit in 2024!
As we reflected on 2024, we have a catalog of most of our events God ushered us into. One of the biggest accomplishments for 2024 was to have the Where Is God Now Deer, Rabbit, & Squirrel Repellent registered, labeled, and approved to sell! It is our flagship fundraiser with 100% of the profits going back to the ministry.
Further, in January, to commemorate Martin Luther King Day of Service, we hosted a Blanket Drive. Donations went to the We Care Center. February we partnered with Operation Paperback to donate audio books and DVDs to our U.S. troops and veterans. We conducted a clothing and shoe drive to help one of the ladies who was released from jail in March.
We moved forward in Jesus’ name in June with a Denim Jeans & Pant Drive. as requested by the We Care Center. Most of the guest were in need of these items for the types of jobs they have or are seeking. Next, we participated in the Chesapeake Re-entry Council job/resource fair that the ministry is a member of. This sparked our Shoe Drive 2! We collected over 100 shoes that YOU donated to the justice-involved individuals and the community at large.
We wrapped up the year with the Backpack & Other Bag Drive. The Urban League of South Hampton Roads offered their partnership for this requested event from the We Care Center. We collected over 150 backpack and other bags for the guest at the Center. This provided sturdier bags to carry their belongings, unlike the paper and plastic bags they were using. You may use the link below to get more details of the events we participated in 2024.
We also participated in the Point In Time (PIT) Count in January. It is hosted by The Planning Council. We, along with several other organizations and businesses surveyed in the wee hours of the morning the unsheltered homeless. Data collect is vital to assist local, state, and federal governments, along with businesses and organizations to viable solutions for this concern.
The Bible say God orders our steps (Psalm 37:23-24, Proverbs 16:9). These are some of the assignments God gave Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc. in 2024. We continue our assignment at the Chesapeake City Jail with the jail ministry. We visited 44 weeks of the 52 weeks in 2024! We believe God wants us to see the many needs of the inmates as they re-enter society with the biggest being housing. We believe He will give us a solution to this need.
Most of all, we thank YOU! Without you, Where Is God Now Ministries, Inc. could not move forward in the assignments God has given us. I am very humbled as He impresses on me and I, in turn, share with you, the assignments He gives the ministry. We will need YOU as we Move Forward In The Name Of Jesus! We thank you for being the hands, mouth and feet of Jesus on the Earth! Your generosity of monetary and various items you donate are invaluable.
Thank you for your continued love and support.
Please share with whomever…
Love & Blessings!
