Hi friends and supporters. I pray that this Armor Up update finds all of you happy, full of joy, and overflowing with peace. Spring is in the air, birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and I love this time of year.
“Forget the former things, DO NOT DWELL in the past, for God is doing a new thing, now it springs up. Do you not perceive it? He is making a way in the desert of your life and streams in the wasteland” –Isaiah 43:18
Thank you to Josef Meyer and thank you Vivian Bambino for donating the two stoves that we desperately needed. We are truly grateful. Thank you Christian Help as always for your donations and all you do to support Armor Up, Vickie Martin and Mark Blanton you all are awesome.
We are in desperate need of a treasurer and a social media person for our nonprofit board. Please email angella@armoruprecovery.org with any and all suggestions. We also need someone who can write grants as we want to expand and grow the ministry this year. I will be going into the jails to disciple women very soon. Forming new partnerships so we can grow our recovery community and continue to be a voice in the community to advocate for those suffering from addiction and human trafficking.
