"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
This weekend, we have the opportunity to help another family who is on the verge of being homeless. We have found this family a rental home that they can afford, but they must move in over the weekend. This house needs some work, and that is where all of you come in.
We must act quickly, and we need all hands on deck. The address is 205 4th Avenue, Athens, AL. We are coordinating both a cleaning crew for Friday, October 21 and a painting crew for Saturday, October 22. If you are available, please contact Paul Dobbs at 256-777-2389.
On Friday, please bring cleaning supplies with you--cleaners, paper towels, gloves, trash bags, brooms, mops, buckets, etc. On Saturday, please bring painting supplies with you--brushes, old clothes, etc.
As we saw last week, great things can happen when we all work together in the kingdom! We are reaching out to Christians from all over town, so this will be a great way for us to display the unity Jesus prayed for as well as to help a family who could really use the love of Jesus.
We also need some donations for this family. Specifically, they need large area rugs or carpet for 2 or 3 rooms--the floors in this house are cold. We also need dressers, window treatments, a 6-feet-long closet rack and whatever else Paul Dobbs says we need! Cash is always king--that way we can run to Wal-Mart and buy what we need.
We realize that this alert is going out with short notice, but we believe in our army, day and night, and we know you all are willing and able! Thank you in advance for helping us make a big difference in the lives of this special family this weekend!
