Community Outreach - Providing a Vision for a Better Tomorrow

What you often don't see through the blog postings are the many opportunities we have to minister to others through FREE counseling services.

When a family or individual comes to us in need, meeting that physical need is one thing but we offer much more. There is a reason the person or family is in the condition they are in and we desire to not only help them with physical needs but also counsel with them so they do not find themselves in the same situation 6-12 months in the future.
-
As a Board Certified Biblical Counselor, Heather is able to offer guidance from a Biblical and practical point of view. Thomas also counsels from his experience, wisdom, and Biblical knowledge. These counseling sessions vary from 1-10 sessions based on the need. During the counseling session goals are set and hope given to desperate situations.
-
When you support Free to Talk Ministries, you are providing much more than just clothing, food, and basic needs for people. You are providing counseling services that assist those in need to build a vision. A vision of a better future for themselves and their families.

“Where there is no vision, the people perish…” Proverbs 29:18

Free to Talk Ministries, Heritage Church volunteers, and the Atlanta Dream Center Masters Commission teamed up to make a difference in Pulaski County, VA.

Children's Fishing Day

We were blessed to take ten children fishing for the day!

Thank you, Ruritan! We received generous donations from the Ruritan Road Ruritan Club to support this event. The donation provided the majority of the food and drinks as well as $250 worth of household items that were presented to a local social services center.

A big "thank you" to...Tom Hager and the Hager family for the use of their pond, the Lyons family for being our special guests for the day, the Heritage Care Food Pantry for providing food and drink items, the RAAP Conservation Club for letting us use their fishing poles, to Denise Huff for the chili, cookies, and other items, the members of the Heritage Church in Dublin, VA for volunteering yourselves to support this event. Thank you, God, for your love, the great weather, and for keeping us all safe!

Thank you so much to all those involved in making this the perfect day! All the volunteers and children had a wonderful time!

Disaster Relief - Nashville, TN

We completed "mud-outs" for several homes, removing the flooring and walls damaged by floods, mold, and E-coli contaminated waters.

One disabled homeowner was cared for by her son, had damage to their home in the flood, one week later a drunk driver killed her son and her disabled husband had his leg amputated. Our hearts and prayers go out to the flood victims of Nashville!

It was our pleasure to serve the Nashville, TN area and to partner with Samaritan's Purse during this disaster response.

Crisis Response - Nashville, TN

The damage experienced by the homeowners in Nashville, TN was extensive. Debris lined the streets. The tears flowed with the stories shared. Over 12,000 residential homes were damaged by the floods.

During the clean up efforts, the walls and flooring of the water saturated homes had to be removed to prevent the spread of mold and E-coli in the homes. A bleach water solution was applied to the beams. The homeowners were very grateful.

Free to Talk Ministries in Nashville, TN

Free to Talk Ministries partners with Samaritan's Purse to provide disaster relief to the victims of the flood in Nashville, TN. Pray we have the opportunity to "proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day" (1 Chronicles 16:23 NKJV) as we continue disaster relief efforts in Nashville, TN!

Crisis Response - Update

Please pray for the people of Nashville, TN who have lost their homes and some loved ones...38 people lost their lives. The pictures are from a homeowner who had flood waters all the way to the second story of the house. The yard is filled with items damage by the water. The debris will be to taken to waste sites.

We are partnering with Samaritan's Purse this week to help those in need. Pray for us! The weather is hot. Today there was a high of 93 and it felt like 105! God is faithful and good to us!

Crisis Response - Nashville, TN

Storms and flooding killed more than thirty people across Tennessee and caused more than $1.5 billion in property damage in the Nashville area alone.
-
Free to Talk Ministries is partnering with others to respond to this crisis. During the week of May 23-30, 2010, we will be in the Nashville, TN area helping with mud outs (getting mud out of residential homes) and assisting others in the area in need of help.
-
Ways you can help are to pray for us, donate to help cover the cost of this crisis relief effort, or volunteer to help with physical labor in the area. All donations are tax deductible and can be made online at www.F2TNow.com/donate_now.

Bluff City, TN - Community Outreach (April 14-16, 2010)

It is more of a blessing to give than it is to receive! We reached out to the needs of the local church and community.

One family was in need of a new porch. Their old porch was very dangerous and could have fallen down at any time. The husband is a veteran of our armed forces. We were able to take down the old porch and build back the foundation for a new two story porch. Some of the materials were taken from an old red oak barn on the property. The other materials were purchased from donations designated for community outreach.
-
The church, where we ministered, was in need of storage space and renovations. We purchased blinds for the front doors and two new storage units for items inside the church, along with some other neccessity items. These items were provided by the donations of our supporters.

Wow! Now That's Power!

Matthew 28:6 said this about Jesus, "He is not here; he has risen, just as he said." The Bible tells us the same spirit that raised Christ from the grave dwells in us! Wow! Now that's power!
-

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you have the power to overcome any trial, trouble, or tribulation that is in your life. Jesus has overcome death and that same spirit of life dwells in you! That's a great reason to celebrate today!

It's Good Friday!

Why is Good Friday referred to as “good”?

The punishment Jesus suffered was definitely not good. However, the results of Christ’s death are very good! Romans 5:8, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” 1 Peter 3:18, “For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.”

“If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8) “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). There is GOOD news this Friday! Jesus paid the price so we can be forgiven. If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, you can find a simple prayer on our website-resources page to pray today (http://www.f2tnow.com/resources).
