Progress Report,
Praise the Lord!!! The new expansion building on the side lot has now been framed. We want to give a big thanks to all the hard working men from New Life Church, Alamo CA for their efforts in framing the 6000 sq ft building to expand the daycare. The new building will allow us to double the amount of children at Open Arms. The expansion of the daycare will bless many families’ lives in La Mision. Our goal is to finish the project by the end of the year. We know God has called us to continue advancing His Kingdom by providing no–cost childcare and we know he wont stop providing now. You can always assist by praying, giving finiancially, or giving you time or services. Please prayerfully consider investing in Open Arms.
Mothers Event:
The second annual mother’s day event was held by New Life Church, Alamo CA. The mothers and their children came to Heidi and Daniel’s home for a time of worship, sharing, fellowship, food and extreme makeovers. Instead of our typical mother’s meetings we had a fiesta. We served dinner and dessert, raffled away prizes and had a nice time-sharing the Word of God with the ladies. The women shared testimonies and talked about how to make your home a Godly one. Additionally, one of the women from the group was a hairstylist so we raffled off two makeovers. Not only did she cut these two ladies hair she cut most of the kids hair from the daycare too. While the two women got their makeovers the rest of the women played icebreaker games. Each Mom had to take some pieces of toilet paper and however many they took they had to share some thing about themselves. Most of them shared about how thankful they were that God has changed their lives and blessed them so much. There was not a dry eye in the house!!!! They shared how the daycare has not only changed their kid’s lives but their lives as well. The mom’s have been transformed in just one year and it is so nice to see that the daycare is truly saving families!!!!
