Thank you to all who contributed to the ministry through the 2018 Giving Challenge!  The Community Foundation of Sarasota hosted this annual giving event and The Patterson Foundation generously MATCHED all contributions up to $100!  With your generosity we are able to act as Jesus’ hands and feet in helping women recover from their life issues.

 

God is so so good! Our local Keller Williams blessed us in a HUGE way this month! During their Red Day event, the group descended on the BFA home with about 100 volunteers and made some unbelievable changes. The love and effort from these people was truly amazing.

Take a look at this crazy list of things they did, all in one day..
– New shell for driveway
– Extended parking on driveway
– Painted the entire house exterior
– Sod in the entire back yard
– Compost in back yard
– Extended back porch by installing pavers
– Sod in much of the front yard
– New flower garden in front of the house
– Built raised vegetable gardens
– Built fire pit
– Cleared spot and built chicken coop
– Cleared all overgrown hedges and canopy
– Installed gate in fence
– New carpet in the three bedrooms
– Installed ceiling fans in the three bedrooms
– Arranged all kitchen cabinets
– New 55″ TV
– New gas BBQ grill

This team arrived on the house at 7:30am and knocked it out! They were well organized and each and every one of them was working out of love. It was an awesome experience seeing God work through Keller Williams and these individuals to help our ladies! This was truly God doing immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine – Eph 3:20.

Thank you Lord and thank you Keller Williams for allowing Him to use you to bless us!
