Hi Deep Love family!

It's OFFICIALLY Our 2nd Event with FIW!

As you all may already know, our team had been praying for a new location for a while now to the point that it has stretched us into even thinking that the Lord was leading us to stop; however, through much prayer and the Lord revealing & confirming to all of us that this was simply the beginning, we have not only found a new location, but Deep Love will be partnering with Freedom in Worship Church. This will be our 2nd event and we are SO EXCITED for what the Lord is going to do this time!

FIW is an amazing church that serves the community in the Lancaster & Fort Worth area by not only sharing the Word with them, but also offering them discipleship and a community to be a part of! We will working with them and joining them this month (4/17) at their location at 9am to do a Pre-setup and then join them for service at 10am. Volunteers will not be asked, unless they feel led to, to show at 9 for PRE-SETUP or 10 for service, but we would appreciate it if y'all could join us at 12:15am to help us finish set up and get ready for the event.

UPDATE FOR APRIL EVENT:

- We will be setting up @ FIW Church for Our April Event. - We will be setting as we used to: Food/Water, Hygiene, Women's clothes, Men's clothes, Seasonal, Youth, Medical, Job Placement, Ministry Tent, and MUCH MORE. - We will be switching to Sunday versus Saturday due to the fact the FIW team has to be present based on city permits, but also, I mentioned at the last event that there is way too many people giving things out on Saturday and we don't want be just another group handing "stuff" out.

UPDATE FOR FUTURE EVENTS:

- We will be transitioning to the 3rd weekend of every month beginning this month due to the need out in Lancaster and it also fits better with our heart to get the Gospel & Discipleship to this community with FIW church.

- As we want to continue joining FIW for service and having the opportunity worship together, our Pre-set up at 9am will continue and then begin our event at 12:30pm.

- We will potentially be able to serve hot food due to the fact that they have the permits, but we will have more info on that later.

UPDATE TO OUR SUPPORTERS:

We've been doing these events the 3rd week of every month as resources arise to help those that are in the greatest need in the Lancaster/Fort Worth area. At our last event, we were able to clothe, feed, and provide the resources needed to over 150 families - They met us with tears of joy and gratitude, and testimonies to continue to build!

However, we know food, clothes, hygiene, etc, are needs that continue to be needed every month.

THEREFORE, we thought.... ”Wellllllll, LET’S DO IT AGAIN Next Month.

AND...FOR AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE MEANS TO DO IT & THE LORD IS IN IT!"

We want to minister to at least 100 this time, and we know we can do it with your help!

To ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS!:

“y'all have been the only ones that have continued to come out during this past year/season of uncertainty and we are so appreciative of you all for coming out!”
