WAW Wednesdays: Photos and Good News

"The Word at Work is a ministry that mobilizes churches and individuals to answer God's call to minister to those in need," writes Rev. Tim Tam, Director of the Amarillo, Texas-based ministry. "Through our relationships, God reveals needs and opportunities for service. As we come along side the poor, new friendships develop and doors for ministry open. As we serve, God provides the resources to supply for the needs he reveals."



Photos and Good News

Here up-front are this week's requests ...
Anybody upgrading their iPhones? We can use a couple ... 4's or newer
Help with some expenses incurred with Gabby and her mom ... to date $1,050
Anyone have a new or used Keyboard?


Rare photo ... like seeing an Eskimo in a Speedo ... is capturing a Belizean shoveling snow. Our own beloved, Kenny Logan, is up here with me in Northern Texas. We are visiting some of our church partners. Tomorrow we visit churches in Mississippi.

Gabby is doing great. This week was a big event. She got to stand up and walk on her own two legs for the first time since even before coming to Amarillo. The excitement brought her and her mom both to tears. However, she still has a couple months of wound care and intensive antibiotic care ahead of her. So we have lots of things planned for her. Thanks to some caring supporters she has glasses and clear vision like she's never known.

And thanks to another great partner, Saint Andrew's Episcopal school, she now receives tutoring so she doesn't fall behind in her education. Here she is pictured with Jan Koesjan from St. Andrew's.

Our Ministry Associate team gathers school supplies, toys, and stuffed animals through out the year ... we've discovered blankets are an ongoing need as well, so please be saving them, too.

Thanks,

Tim Tam
