Opportunity to Serve Children and Incarcerated Moms

Greeting Friends!

 

Sometimes when I think of Heaven, the foremost thought that comes to mind is the reunions!  Re-uniting with cherished loved-ones in that first initial embrace…the idea literally evokes an emotion in me that brings me to tears.  We can only imagine what that might be like!

 

Incredibly, I’ve witnessed a similar type of reunion here on Earth that created the same pull on my spirit.  The Returning Hearts Celebration sponsored by Awana Lifeline is such an event.  Inmate parents are reunited with their kids for a full day of fun and activities.  If you stood by the sidelines and watched as I did, I think you’d have experienced a moment of transformation…true joy like Heaven will be.

 

Do you have a heart for those who have been incarcerated, sexually exploited, trafficked, and the children who are most vulnerable and at-risk for being the next victims…..
