The "Willing Workers" Answered The Call
























This National Holiday was a day to give back! We had nearly 30 people today come to help tear down more walls, discard of the materials, unload trailers into storage and to minister to this family in need.

CTR and OAKS is so very thankful for all the hands that were there to help. There was even a little girl who was celebrating her birthday who put on her gloves and pitched right in to help. Young and old and then some older... worked together sharing blessings.

You were all amazing.... I hope the pictures tell a great story. There are a couple of pictures that I would like for you to take note of. One is where you see John Slotten with his hand in the air, the couple next to him are Allan and Crystal the home owners. The other picture is that of two men walking toward the camera, this is Allan again with his brother Dave. I think it just helps to get a picture of those who we are in deep prayer for.

By the end of the week we should have the new trailer placed on the lot..Please keep praying about the foundation needs.

God Bless you all, whether you were able to come out to lend a hand or if you were able to pray for us and for those who so far have been very generous in giving financially to this project. We've all come together in HIS Great Name!

....And the Walls Keep Coming Down!


















Today was a great day for walls to be coming down! We had group of adults and some youth from Narrow Path working together to empty out, clean up and tear down the walls of the trailer in Black Creek. Some of us and prayerfully some new volunteers will be going back on Monday to go at it again.

The picures really say it all so i am keeping this short.

God Bless all the helpers today! You all did a Great job!

Black Creek Family Blessings






The time has finally come for OAKS to move quickly to clear out the old trailer and prepare for the replacement trailer to be moved onto the property. There has been a lot of activity over the last week or so as you can see from the photos. But... there is still a lot of work needing to be done. Getting the remaining part of the trailer demolished is not the only thing, there is storage of belongings, a large wood pile that needs to be moved, two out buildings that need some clean up and the grass needs to be mowed. We are trying to bless this family in every way that we know how.

This Saturday and Monday are days that we could use all the help we can get, so if you haven't made plans for the Memorial Day Weekend then we have just the way that you can give of yourself and know that God is smiling down upon you. If this tugs at your heart at all, then please contact the OAKS Ministry at 920-751-8383. All information will be made available to you.

Keep watching for more throughout the week.
