Maple Leaf Tutoring Program Year 13!
This October we will be starting our 13th year at the Maple Leaf Clubhouse in the Maple Leaf Apartments of Brick. For years we have had amazing volunteers who have come out weekly, monthly and when they are able to show the love of Jesus to these children.
This year we are focusing on the elementary students – 1st through 5th grade.
October 19
October 20We are looking for more volunteers who have a few hours once a week, once a month or when they are able, to join us in blessing this community for our 13th year!
Please show up on the 19th if you are able!
And please pray for our influence in this community for the Gospel!
SOFM Ministry
How the Gift of Giving is Helping Around the World
The Gift of Giving through Step of Faith Ministry has helped 1000’s around the world over the past 23 years. And what a gift it is!
The many lives, both young and old, that have been and continue to be touched through the generous giving each year enables SOFM to meet needs and bring the gospel of Jesus to those who do not yet know Him. We are highlighting this Gift of Giving during the month of September because SOFM’s General Fund is currently low and additional funds would allow us to finish out this year’s commitments for our ministries. Please consider sharing the need that SOFM has for its General Fund over the next month…
Whether it is state side: here in New Jersey through our Maple Leaf Tutoring Program, partnership with New City Fellowship in Atlantic City, and Rooted in Love out of Brick, our support of Plays on Word Theater in North Carolina and our support for Pastor Mike Durante’s Albanian Church in Florida OR our international support for our ministries in Haiti, our support for Pastor Santo Garofalo in Italy or our support for the ministries in Albania…the Gift of Giving is changing lives all over the world! The testimonies that we receive continue to grow as well as our hearts continue to grow in thankfulness!
Our founder Bob Hager once said that it is important to make a need known and make it specific. So… in the words of Bob… we share that the support needed is approximately $15,000 to take care of the remaining needs for this year.
We appreciate your prayers for the support and if you are able to help provide any amount or know of someone who could, please click on the WAYS TO GIVE tab at the top of the page and click on GENERAL FUND. Thank you!
