2Coats February Update

Good day all, I hope this finds you well. Thanks again for filling out the information update. We have a small group who did, who want to serve, who are down with doin' the stuff. I appreciate, more than you may know, you doing this. I am excited to press in and press on with this group. May God Bless you and the seeds that you are sewing. Please find our February Update below, or by CLICKING HERE to get to our blog.

Thanks again,

Steve Hinderhofer

Prayer: you can be praying for the following

1. that we are following God's commands and the promptings of the Holy Spirit as we minister here in Grundy Center and throughout the county.
2. for the approval of our 1023 application by the government.
3. for our team (board) as we continue to plan, grow, follow and serve.
   

Essentials Bags: looking to serve? We could always use essential bags. Head to the store, pick up these items, and drop them to the house here in Grundy. These items are essential because Food stamps don't usually pay for them. I have found the cost to be about $35, so if you can't go shopping, just let us know and we can go shopping for you. Here is the list...

1. laundry soap, dryer sheets, shampoo and/or conditioner, hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, toothpaste, deodorant, kleenex, razors, lip balm
   

Meals: we could always use pre-prepared meals. Make em, freeze em, or drop them off to use at the house.

10:5 Movement is in full swing!! I will be visiting with the folks over at the USDA housing development here in town this week! We hope to be matching you up with some one or a few folks this month. CLICK HERE for more information.

Neck Healing

Was over at the Midwest Blue Ocean Conference last weekend, and during ministry time I approached a fellow conference goer and asked if I could pray for him. He said yes and mentioned that his neck was sore. So we prayed and when we were done, he was pain free, zero! YAH GOD! Love being apart of His Kingdom coming! For your glory Father!
