Victory Home feeds over thirty people, three times a day.

And we spend hardly anything on food!

How is that possible? It’s easy. Two steps.

1) We pray.
We go to the Lord with our needs; this is His ministry and we ask for His provision. After all, He owns the cattle on a thousand hills!

2) God lays it on hearts of those in the community to give. 
And they do! Individuals buy spices and staple goods, grocery stores offer leftovers, restaurants save their extras, and other ministries share their blessings.

 

Is God speaking to you about giving?

Not sure what we need?

Give us a call at 487-2633. Let God use you today!

A friend of Victory Home received a large number of pears from a neighbor and decided to bless Victory Home by canning them and donating them to be sold in the thrift store.  Canned Pears, Pear Preserves, Amber Pear Preserves, and Pear Honey with Pineapple are all available now!
 

She also gave the extra pears to the Victory Home kitchen staff, so that the clients may enjoy this delicious fall bounty. Yum!

This little guy was signing his name on cards for our card ministry at church tonight. He’s a cute 6-year-old who loves to play and sing and run around with the other kids.

 

But his life is a little different than the other boys’ at church. 

“Billy” lives at Victory Home with his dad, who came into the program a few months ago. Billy’s dad has a big responsibility, trying to raise his child at the same time that he strives to change his life. It’s not easy, but his dad is determined and committed, and God is doling out lots of grace. Billy is a big part of our “family” now and he has adjusted wonderfully. He’s the first child Victory Home has ever had. 

Pray for Billy and his dad if you get a chance. And come see him Sunday - he’s singing (”in front of everyone!”). I love to see God’s grace in action!

 

How priceless is your unfailing love!
Both high and low among men
find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
~Psalm 36:7
