Jasmine's Story...
 

I came to the Sheepfold a little while ago, being pregnant and with a young daughter. My daughter and I had moved several different times during my pregnancy. It was a very hard time, especially since I was having a difficult pregnancy.

 

When I entered the Sheepfold my House Managers prayed for me and my unborn baby constantly. When I went into labor it was extremely scary and hard. The doctor scheduled a C-section and just before my surgery my House Manager came to pray over me. It was at that moment that I gave my life to Jesus. I let go and rested in Christ, knowing that He had me and my baby's safety in His hands.

 

My children and I are doing just fine now. I am grateful for all the wonderful people here at the Sheepfold. We have been given everything that we need. We are all healthy, content and ready to start a new life.

 

Thank you, Sheepfold, for everything, and most of all thank you, Lord, for bringing me here.

 

- Jasmine, Sheepfold Mom

Women of God
 

Thank you so much! I really don't say this enough, but I do appreciate this ministry and all the hard work you ladies do as managers.

 

I am truly thankful to have you in my life. God knew exactly what my son and I needed to continue to move forward. I would be lost and would not know what to do if we were never brought here. I never imagined I would be where I am today.

 

I am so blessed to have an amazing group of women in our lives. They love the Lord and encourage all the women and children (including my son and I) to never give up on accomplishing our goals—but most importantly, to never give up on God. I have felt the difference spiritually, and emotionally. The seeds have definitely been planted in us!!

 

We are truly blessed and grateful! As my son has said, "PRAISE THE LORD!!"

Our Playground
 

We had been praying for extra mulch for our playground for about a year. And sure enough, God provided mulch from a nearby tree that was cut down and turned into mulch!

 

The Lord never fails to provide! His faithfulness in big and small things for over 40 years here at the Sheepfold is so encouraging!

 

We hope it is also an encouragement to you as well! To keep patiently praying because God is listening. And He always answers prayers BIG and small…in his time!

 

Love, The Sheepfold

 
 
 
Grateful Parents
 

My husband and I would just like to express our sincere thanks for all you are doing to assist our daughter and her children during a very trying and difficult time. She finally made the necessary decision to leave an abusive situation, and she needed help. Help that we could not provide her.

 

We feel that the Lord opened up doors for her to come to your shelter. We already see the difference it has been making in her life and we praise the Lord that He has His hand on the situation. We don't rule out the fact that the Lord can use this time to work a miracle in the heart of her husband, but we are relieved to know that she is in a safe place, getting the spiritual instruction and practical life training that she needs.

 

The Sheepfold's support and care is appreciated more than you can ever realize. We are so grateful for the ministry. We pray that the Lord continues to abundantly bless your efforts to reach “the widow and orphans” as the scriptures call us to do. This is the beginning of a whole new life for our daughter and grandchildren and for that we are forever grateful.

 

God Bless!
