Down Home
Help those marginalized in our community. Visit Down Home to get involved or ask a question.
What? Down Home is looking to grow a prayer team that would intercede on behalf of the needs of Down Home and the community. We realize this team may start out small and grow over time. Down Home is a non-profit that decorates and fully furnishes the homes of families who are transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing. We stay in contact with them for at least their first year to help with the transition in any way we can.
Why? God has called us to this mission of helping families who are transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing and we realize this is a big calling. We are seeking God’s vision for Down Home and desire to be in His will. We are requesting God to multiply the little that we bring Him (time, treasure, talent) to accomplish big things in the lives of His children in need (Luke 9:16).
Who? Prayer Warriors. Anyone who is willing to commit to weekly prayer for Down Home and the community needs. People whose schedule allow them to meet at Down Home Wednesday mornings.
