Last night we visited the Abundant Life Home. It's an orphanage for kids with HIV and it was started by Team 2000. Some of you might remember that it was on Neighborhood's special Christmas gift giving last year. Our church family gave over $26,000. that has helped pay for things like medicine, care-takers, food, and housing maintenance. I can testify that the gifts are being well-used. There are 14 orphans in 2 houses (the boys and girls are in different homes) with a couple of full-time care-takers at each house. It's a very loving environment where Jesus is shared both in words and deeds. We celebrated a couple of birthdays and had a chance to play with the kids. As a part of Neighborhood's family, I just want to thank you for thinking beyond yourself and investing in ministries like these.
