August 2022 Thanks

Thanks to you who answered God’s call for Ark needs in August: Lamplighter Coffeehouse was pleased to receive donations of BBQ ribs, fresh watermelons, and cantaloupes, as well as Red Velvet cake. Offerings continue to come in for assistance and work to repair the historic Ark building at 401 East Broadway and our interim location, 429 East Broadway. We are grateful to our homeless participants who willingly work doing the hard labor of cleanup and restoration with us, daily removing trash, and hauling it to the city dump, painting, cleaning and moving furniture, and assisting with general maintenance. We are extremely grateful for those who offer paying jobs for our homeless participants as money is needed for many things that are not available from free services. Heartfelt thanks for increased donations of money, foods, and stores offering discounts. None of these donors want public credit for their generosity. Our constant gratitude for our regular Prayer Warriors. We thank God for each of you who help us physically and encourage us spiritually. Thank God for our volunteers who faithfully continue to give out meals and hygiene kits and keep the Ark running. The Ark exists because of our Triune God and EACH of your ethnicities, cultures, skills, talents, gifts, and prayers. We thank you for your Matthew 25:35-40 work of caring for our neighbors as if doing it for our Savior.
