Warm Fuzzies 6.8.11

A single mother of four children has been in a custody battle for 3 of her kids. This has led to her running behind on rent. She has taken out loans, but they are handicapping her and draining the money she does have. Added to that, she received a notice to vacate her apartment complex. Thankfully, Cornerstone was able to help and this family was not evicted.

What a blessing that one of our HPRP clients came to Cornerstone in March. Her son caught pneumonia in April and she caught it soon after. If she hadn’t already been receiving rental assistance through CAN, they would have fallen further behind on rent and probably been evicted.

A family successfully completed the program and moved into a rent house. The wife recently lost her job, which will decrease their income by 50%. She has expressed her concern, but she and her husband desire to continue moving forward for their family's sake. Thankfully, they will be able to meet their monthly bills with budgeting techniques they learned from the program. Please pray she finds another job quickly!

A divorced mother of 1 started training in all areas of her job and has been given a lead position that includes supervising other employees. She believes that she will be eligible for the managerial program soon, and has a long-term goal to find a more stable and consistent administrative assistant or other office-type job.

We had a client come for an intake via the New Creations program. She was eligible to receive an Access Wireless phone to assist with her transition into society, having recently been released from incarceration. During the interaction, the Holy Spirit began strongly moving, significantly guiding the prayer. As ministry occurred, the tears began flowing. This client strongly sensed the love of God—it was written all over her face. These powerful moments of ministry is what Cornerstone is all about.
