One dear sister reminded me last week, “Look to the hills Mo…there’s still help in them hills!”
And so in the spirit of prayer I am making known to all of our friends our present financial need.
I’m tied up in activities this month that require my full attention, that are true to our mission, but produce no income. This week I have a group of University of Connecticut students down for a work project/mini-internship. The event has been scheduled for a year. These experiences prove to be life transforming events in the lives of not only the individuals who attend our internship, but also for their families and relational networks.
For instance, I just heard this past week from a parent of a former intern who said, “Mo, I was scared to death about releasing our daughter to do your internship.” But her daughter was so transformed by the experience that it left an indelible mark on both the mother and her husband, as well. As a result, she has recently accepted an assignment from the Governor of Louisiana to the state board of education to advocate for and inspire excellence in the inner-city schools in New Orleans, including Carver High School. But that would not have happened without our internship.
There are many other stories I could tell like that one. Like the group of interns who are helping to build an orphanage, school and clinic among street children in Tanzania. Or the interns in Peru. Or the interns in urban medical missions. Or the interns in urban ministries in Montgomery, Chicago, Atlanta, Birmingham, Seattle, etc.
I would like to ask my friends not only to consider giving to our new work, but to encourage others to do the same. If anyone would like to invite me to a house dinner for a small concert/ministry presentation for potential donors, it would be my privilege to do so.
At the very least, would you diligently pray for us in this time of need.

Please pray for my dad, his name is Bill and he is 88 years old. Satan his hit him with a nasty UTI in the nursing home. All of us was there all day Saturday. They put an IV with meds in his arm.
and also been giving him meds in his ice cream too.
The nurse told me that it would take at least 24 to 48 hours for him to start feeling better. I know God can heal him faster and he is able. Please pray with me that God with our prayers will bring my dad out of it please in God’s Mercy and Love.
I am staying in faith with him to be healed
Jackie
