Family Promise: An Update & An Opportunity

Family Promise: An Update & An Opportunity

Joy should rightly be proud of helping get a local Family Promise network (rotating shelter in congregations’ buildings for homeless families) started in Tulsa. We signed up to host over two years ago, and that helped encourage others to sign up. We approached our synod’s Living God’s Abundance campaign together with Fellowship to help gather startup funds, and Lenten/Advent offerings as well as grants from Joy’s Mission Endowment Fund have all been generous supports for their first two years of operation.
