Praise God for He Provides!
Two weeks ago we had 40 backpacks. As of Wednesday,
we had 130 backpacks, and enough bags of supplies to provide
for ALL the requests we received!
Through these backpacks:
-There are African Refugees who will be going to school for the first time in America, blessed with all the school supplies they need to make the transition easier.
-An 11 year old girl requested dog and cat folders, and in her ‘random’ backpack was a binder with a puppy on the cover!
-Teens BPC developed relationships with through Kids Church received messenger bags to go off to college!
-A BPC member who is a Cleveland School’s Psychologist has backpacks to bless children she works with.
-Bridge Avenue School has backpacks for their students whom God has blessed by doubling their enrollment from last year.
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you
have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24
We praise God for the ways our congregation rallied
and supported this ministry!
Backpacks for Kids provides school supplies at the beginning or the school year for our ministry partners: In El Chico Guatemala & In Cleveland at The Bridge Avenue School, African Refugees,
Kids Church, and More!
