Our goals for 2010

Written by admin on January 3, 2010 – 1:17 pm -

Steve and I have been spending much time thinking about where we want to go with Gabriel’s Foundation of HOPE in 2010.  The passion for serving the disability community is on fire in Steve’s heart to the point of tears when he sees someone in a wheelchair or cane or walker.  Just today at church we met a new friend – Natalie – a beautiful young girl with a smile as wide as the Mississippi.  What a sweet family! 

God continues to place these families in our lives and we continue to pray for the resources to do what it takes to encourage them and to provide for whatever they need. The desire is so strong it chokes us sometimes.  So we need to get busy raising funds and letting people know what we have to offer.

Today I’m working on an application for Joni and Friends ministry affiliate program.  We want to associate ourselves with this incredible world wide ministry focused on ministry to individuals and families affected by disabilities.  We hope our application will be accepted and we can join forces with Joni’s ministry as we both serve these wonderful people.

Happy New Year 2010.  A new decade is upon us and we envision great things for our organization.  We are planning our first fund raising dinner and auction.  We are working diligently to complete Gabe’s first book.  Gigi’s book Caregivers Devotions to Go is completed and waiting for the printer to complete the print copy.  We are making that book available free with any donation during the month of January.

In March we will present our ministry at the Northwest Ministry Conference where we will share more about how we can help other ministries in working with the disability community.

Gabe is taking a public speaking class as part of his college curriculum so we are excited to help him improve his speaking abilities so he can continue to touch lives in this way. 

We have much work to to and we are excited to achieve our goals in 2010.  Won’t you come along side us and help us make it happen?
