April/May Updates from Rushton’s Hope

Dear Family and Friends,

We hope this update finds you and others around you, standing firm in Christ in the midst of life’s spiritual, emotional, & physical storms that “..rain on the just and the unjust..”(Matthew 5:45). In these past weeks we have seen devastating damage from the storms in our community and beyond! Some have lost everything! At the same time, we have seen an overwhelming response from individuals wanting to help; some storm survivors themselves!

In addition to all this, we have heard many stories of Divine intervention. In all that has occurred, may we be reminded that when these storms come, the foundation we have makes all the difference! If we are built upon the rock, representing the Savior and His Word, we will stand! However, if we are built upon the sand, representing Satan and this World, we will fall. (Matthew 7:24-29)

In April:

  • Bounty of Hope Food Pantry provided many boxes/bags of food & supplies to our community.
  • One Town/One Goal Community Cookout was a wonderful time of serving our neighbors! We served over 300 with physical and SPIRITUAL food! Thanks Triple 8 Grocery for your support!
  • Bounty of Hope Café severed several hundred meals and the Gospel was shared each Saturday.
  • HCM Sunday Service continues meeting weekly; seeing decisions made for Christ!
  • 28 children attended the Spring Event on Easter Sunday! Thank you Shannon and Mark Watkins and “crew” for making this a special time for the children and adults!
  • A huge THANK YOU to all who gave towards the relief efforts! The response was overwhelming! We have met, and are still, meeting needs thanks to your generosity!
  • Assisted with storm relief efforts; sending out several trucks loaded with supplies and meals. Gospel seeds were planted in each bag of groceries given out!
  • Cookie Ministry baked several hundred cookies.

Ways you can help Rushton’s Hope:

  • Pray for storm victims and for volunteers.
  • Pray for those who need a relationship with Jesus. Safety and shelter for our homeless.
  • Pray for yh and children leaders for Sunday nights and mentoring ministry!
  • Pray for God’s provision for a multi-faceted facility to base Rushton’s Hope Ministries.
  • Donating children’s & men’s shoes. Also furniture & appliances in good condition.
  • PANTRY NEEDS: POP TOP CANS OF MEAT, SOUPS, & PASTAS, fruits, crackers, powdered or shelf milk, cereals (kid friendly), instant grits and oatmeal.
  • Personal products: deodorant, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry and cleaning supplies.
  • Volunteers needed Thursdays-Sundays for various areas of service! Give us a call for details!
  • Several summer events coming up! Call for information on how you can help!

Thanks for helping us help those in life’s storms!
In Christ, Ron and Wanda

Outreach Update! whirlwind missions

Hello, my friends!

As Jesse and I arrived at Azalea, my car was met with the usual crow of children clamoring to be heard.

“Mr. Tim, Mr. Tim!”

“Hello, kids!” I reach into the back seat and pull out a big plastic container. he children know what this means! Donuts! Every month they help us label the envelopes that carried this letter to your door.  they enjoyed doing the “stickers” and I always give them a treat for their hard work.

“OK, kids! Let’s do he name labels!”

The children take their seats and immediately start yelling.

“I need some Mr. Tim! I need ore Mr. Tim!”

I hand each child a little stack of envelopes and a row of name labels. “Put these in the middle.” I carefully put a label on the envelope and show them the example. “That’s easy, Mr. Tim!”

We all sit down at the tables and begin o work. Fahim, one of the kids from Bangledesh is new to the mission.

“What are these for, Mr. Tim?” His chubby, little brown face smiles at me.

“Well Fahim. Every month, we send a letter to our friends who support we’re doing here at the mission.”

“Support?” Hid English isn’t very strong yet, since he’s new in the country.

“That means they help us. They send us money so we can help you guys. See theses table and chairs?”

“Yes.” He nods thoughfully.

“These sweet folks sent their money so we could pay for them. Remember when it was so cold?”

“Oh yeah.” He made shivering motions.

“If it wan’t it wasn’t for their help we wouldn’t have any heat. Remember when we gave you those school supplies and back packs?”

“Yes!” He looked at his bag.

“The people we’re writing to gave you so you would have what you needed for school.”

He looked at me intently.

“What happens if they don’t give?” He seemed quite concerned.

“Well, I rekon our lives would get harder.”Mr. Tim.”

“Thank YOU From Fahim, my friends!”
