January 2023 Thanks

Thanks to you who answered God’s call for Ark needs in January: We’re so glad for Garry, and our night watchman and his wife who covered the handicapped ramp on the Lifeboat (Little Ark) to allow participants to enter more safely in the rain and snow. We’re so grateful for you who donate coats, gloves, hats, warm clothes for our participants who are homeless or in need. Thanks to Molly, Ann, and Angela for putting away Christmas decorations and setting up the donated winter wear. Our sincere appreciation to the Muskogee Police Department for immediate help to address the theft of wires in the heating and air units (HVAC) In addition, the police officers continue to patrol the area to reduce the chances of another attempt. Thanks to Mike, Cowboy, Gabe, and Drew and to William, Homer, Kevin, David, and Kerry the two work crews who secured the HVAC equipment. Thanks to the meal service team for their food services for breakfast, lunch, and Coffeehouse. Gratitude to the Muskogee Lion’s Club, Charlie’s Chicken, Red Lobster, and Runt’s BBQ for food donations. We appreciate Muskogee Rotary for funds for our veteran’s programs. Our humble thanks to the Tiger family who has donated their time and talents to restore the Acee Blue Eagle wall murals. Teen Challenge earns kudos for the wedding apparel for a New Year’s Eve wedding Garry officiated at the Ark and the clothing for the next two weddings we have scheduled. God bless our regular Prayer Warriors, building and program volunteers, work crews, and board. We are humbled by donors who do not want public credit. The Ark exists because of our Triune God and EACH of you – all cultures, skills, prayers, talents, and gifts. We thank you for of caring for your neighbors as if doing it for our Savior.
