Victory in Jesus

Recently, we had a wonderful team from Victory Christian Center in Terre Haute, Indiana visit us at New Vision City of Refuge Children's Home. Led by Pastor Dana and Jennifer Coverstone, this team ministered to our family, the 24 resident children and our staff throughout their stay. Working hard every day they installed doors and windows in our new boys’ dorm, motion detector lights outside our apartment and organized our clothing storage closet, as well as many other practical tasks.

Each day the team creatively ministered to the children through devotions and introduced them to Bible Quiz. Our staff was touched by their heartfelt ministry and prayers. The schools in the area were blessed by their ministry as devotions were delivered at two high schools and one elementary school. In fact the elementary school implored them to return the following week. The team graciously switched their fun day for the opportunity to volunteer at our health clinic and about 65 patients were cared for that day.
On a personal note, the team was extremely generous and gracious towards our family. My children were blessed by their thoughtful gifts but even more so by the loving attention and friendship they offered. Thank you Pastor Dana and Victory Christian Center. We look forward to your return next year!
