On behalf of the R&R Board, we want to extend a special thank you to the Minnetonka Edina Realty team and its clients for their support of Reach & Restore, Inc. sponsoring us on their Community Service Day. There was a lot of participation and many of the items that were collected and delivered to our Service Station are soon to be passed on to families in need around us. We hope to continue this connection and appreciate all the legwork that was done on behalf of R&R! Also, a huge thanks go out there to all who came to our Garage Sale to support R&R. The funds raised will be important as we continue to work on and raise support for the future R&R clothing closet. Yesterday at the garage sale, a guest was told briefly what the sale was supporting and said, "that's how the world should work". It was very encouraging to hear! We've had some teens helping us sort the clothing by size and type this week. What a blessing! We also met a woman who is interested in teaming up with another to oversee the clothing ministry! Please continue to pray for more volunteer/church connections, a space for the clothing closet to launch and the Lord's strength to press on. It seems every day there is a surprise for us! We are getting more referrals and lives are being touched with God's provisions. Thank you for your involvement!

" I just wanted to call and thank you again for all of the things you brought to us yesterday. We are comfortable and my kids said they slept really good last night in their beds." "Will you pray for me?" "I've never had a microwave!" "I want to tell others how He's changed my life. You are a blessing. When someone gives to me I want to give back. Maybe I can help someone in return." "Reach & Restore was on my heart last week and I want to give to the ministry". "I would much rather give to Reach & Restore knowing it's going to someone who needs it". "I couldn't believe we walked in her apartment and the only thing in it was herself. It was a great experience bringing her ...even just something to sit on!" These are all quotes from the past few days. God will use us when we are open and willing to be used.
The clothing closet project is still in planning stages. Please pray that we can gather the financial support needed to expand in our current space for this. If you would like to visit to get a tour please call 952-933-1393. Volunteers are also needed to do home visits-we call them Life Preservers. Training will be provided.
God is good! Stay tuned for new ways that you can support this ministry. |

The Message (4HIM)
The fields are white and now the time has come. For there's a harvest, there is work left to be done. Lord, here am I, I will be the one. I'm committed to the finish until the setting sun. Lord, I will be faithful in all I say and do. To live a love that never fails, to love my neighbor as myself, and to give till there is nothing left to give. To live a faith that never dies. To be crucified with Christ, until all that lives through me is the Message. For all around this world is searching for a sign. Outside the door they're living in the night. And the light that lives within me is the hope they long to find, so I must be faithful in all I say and do. If we all will work together we can make this world a better place to live, we can make a difference if we try.
