Crab Orchard Women of Grace

We received this wonderful report from Women of Grace Leader, Heather Swaw:

"I wanted to share with you what our Ladies Ministry Group did this week.  On Thursday we took a trip to the Galilean Childrens Home in Liberty, KY.  This organization has an "Angel House" which houses new borns and infants.  Most of these babies come from inmates that deliver their babies while in prison. Another part of this home is for handicap youth and adults.  This home also has a private school located there.  The children from the home attend there and also other children in the town and community.  They are fully dependent on donations and gifts.  They are not goverment funded nor take any money from them because they would not be able to share Jesus with the children.  That's just a short bit of what they do, you may alread know about them.
 
On Thursday 5 ladies, 1 youth, 1 child and Sarah Grace went to the Galilean Home to deliver some donations.  This is the second trip that we have taken to the home.  On both trips we have been touch by the babies, children and adults due to their situations (some of them have severe handicaps).  To see them makes us feel sad but helps us to realize how blessed we are.  But what really is shown, is that the people that work and volunteer at this home truely LOVE these children, youth and adults.  We always enjoy being together and driving up to KY, the ladies here at Crab Orchard love spending time together, but it is such a blessing to be able to share a few donations to the Galilean home.  But it is a bigger blessing being able to see that God has good, loving Christian people taking care of these children and adults. (If our ladies group has one main focus it would be to show love towards women and others that are sick, hurting and that are in need.  We try to do this in many different ways.)
 
We had such a nice day, I wanted to share with you one thing that the Crab Orchard Ladies of Grace is doing."
 
To God be the Glory for all the good accomplished through willing hands and open hearts at Crab Orchard!
